Murder in Bel-Air (Aimee Leduc Investigations #19)
Genre: mystery set in Paris
First chapter, first paragraph:
Paris. Late October 1999. Monday, Midafternoon
The young woman stumbled on the cobblestones in her worn shoes, fist in her pocket, clutching the steak knife she'd nicked from the cafe. She'd felt eyes watching - fear had charged up her back, impossible to ignore. Her gut had screamed at her to get out of there.
Now.
Why hadn't her contact showed?
A car engine revved up, gears scraping. She glanced back and saw a black Renault slide onto Boulevard Picpus. Her heart pounded.
Would you read on, based on the opening paragraphs?

This is a series that I have yet to start, but I know so many love it. One day. Like the opening of this book.
ReplyDeleteI've seen, and heard, good things about this series for a long time. The length of it makes me pause, but perhaps if I find the first few and then jump to the newest one? Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good one. I've been curious about this series.
ReplyDeleteI'd keep reading. Check out the book I'm featuring at Girl Who Reads
