From Library Journal:
Another taut, well-observed, and thoroughly entertaining Aimée Leduc mystery, this book continues the series blend of suspense and attitude engagée while nicely developing our heroine'
In a starred review Publisher's Weekly says 'This Paris has a gritty, edgy feel, and Black's prose evokes the sound of the Seine rising with the spring thaw.imée makes an engaging protagonist, vulnerable beneath her vintage chic clothing and sharp-witted exterior. A gripping seventh mystery to feature Parisian computer expert Aimée Leduc.'

Patricia writes on being an Expat:
"... As the years went by, I also realized that the feeling of being foreign and other, transcends even race. You are not part of their (French) culture. It doesn't matter who you are or of what origin you are. You're either French (in your head and behavior), or not. When I began to see that, I began to identify myself as an expat. The sum of being an American who lives in Paris, an African-American trying to find roots here, minus not being French - but seeing life internationally - on a large scale and permanently, equals my personal experience of being an expat."
