#4 in the Aimee Ledue Investigations series which get easier to read and more enthralling with each book. Black's style of switching POV from character to character seems less confusing and more enlightening when you know that she is offering pieces of the puzzle which don't yet fit into the picture. The seemingly authentic look at the underside of Paris is also fascinating. Aimee's injury at the beginning also makes this more interesting.

I was surprised at the ending, and a bit lost about how it all fit together, but probably because I was distracted by other things going on in my life during the last half of the book. I need to make a cheat-sheet of characters on my 3x5 card/bookmark. Hope to start, #5, Murder in Clichy, soon, and find out what will happen in Aimee's life next.
