"Forever young, forever stylish, forever in love with Paris—forever Aimée. "—New York Times Book Review

"This is Black's 10th novel featuring Leduc and it's as sexy, spirited and suspenseful as the first."—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

"…such fun…a delightfully unbuttoned Audrey Hepburn for the twenty-first century… "—Booklist

"[Aimee’s] two investigations link in a surprising way—there’s a really ripping ending—and make for interestingly different and over¬lapping tension. And with Aimée really on the defensive, she’s more appealingly tough yet vulnerable than ever. With its multiple strands, this work has a somewhat different feel from other Aimée Leduc novels. But never fear, it’s still a winner."—Library Journal

"Murder in the Palais Royal continues Cara Black's series about Aimée Leduc, a private eye whose jobs take her to different arrondissements of Paris, thus providing a reliably pleasurable serial guide and a parade of fashionable footwear, thanks to the well-shod Leduc…they’re corkers."—Seattle Times

"The charm of this series comes from the character and a vividly rendered setting. Aimée rides her pink scooter through the streets of Paris, roller skates through the Louvre after closing time, and tears through dark tunnels under the Palais Royal wearing peep-toe shoes or vintage Valentino boots, her eyes ringed with kohl, trying to figure out who is out to get her…Zut alors! It’s quite a ride."—Boston Globe

"Before Aimee Leduc can go to New York to meet a previously unknown brother at the start of Black’s solid...10th mystery to feature the Paris PI, dogged Inspector Melac arrests her for the nonfatal shooting of her partner, Rene Friant. "—Publishers Weekly
