Summary: Ever more fascinating
Comment: With each Aimee Leduc novel, Cara Black gets better--ever more deft and graceful at storytelling and characterization, while still giving us the intensity of Paris. At the very start of this book, Aimee is attacked and blinded. The police suggest she was the victim of a serial killer. But was she? Aimee struggles to navigate in the world of the blind while considering several unfolding crimes. Among the wonderful things about this book is the emergence of her partner Rene from prop sidekick status--it is Rene who acts to uncover crucial evidence, and Black's portrait of him is powerful and poignant. The action takes place in a Paris that is not a tourist fantasy but a tough metropolis. As ever, no other writer today gives us Paris like this. Black remains that rarity--a marvelous storyteller who believes readers have a brain.

Summary: Embraceable Aimee
Comment: Murder in the Bastille is the adventure that draws the reader to Aimee Leduc's side from the beginning. The story begins with Aimee in a restaurant. At a nearby table, she spots a woman who is wearing an identical Chinese silk top. When the woman leaves, Aimee notices that she has left behind her cell phone and goes after her to return it. Down a side street in pursuit of the woman, Aimee is violently attacked. When she comes to, she is blind. From here, readers, hone all your senses, and go with Aimee on this new journey to find the answers to this multi-faceted mystery. I particularly enjoyed "Bastille" because we get to see different dimensions of Aimee as a person, given her new vulnerabilities. Her condition also gives us a chance to view Rene in a broader light as his role becomes instrumental in putting all the pieces together. If you want someone to show you around Paris, with an attitude of free-spirit and freshness, jump into Aimee's pack and hang on tight. Cara Black, has proven to be, once again, a worthy and able tourguide through the Paris streets.
