'Parot succeeds brilliantly in his reconstruction of pre-revolutionary Paris, in splendid period detail' The Times 'The atmosphere is marvellous, the historical detail precise and Le Floch and his colleagues are an engaging bunch' Guardian 'A solid and detailed evocation of pre-revolutionary France - the poverty and squalor, side by side with the wealth and splendour , are brought lovingly to life. And the plot has all the twists, turns, and surprises the genre demands' Independent on Sunday Praise for Jean-François Parot 'As historical mysteries go, Victorian England has its charms; but dirty, pestilential 18th-century France really promises a walk on the wild side. Jean-François Parot delivers on that pledge with gusto.' Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review 'Suspenseful...This intelligent page-turner doesn't sacrifice detail for plot or visa-versa' Publishers Weekly 'Those who love historical mysteries will relish the period detail, court intrigues and tightly plotted story. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED' Iloveamysterynewsletter.com, 'As historical mysteries go, Victorian England has its charms; but dirty, pestilential 18th-century France really promises a walk on the wild side.
