" Black has been incredibly clever in how she doles out the details of Aimee's father's violent death in the course of a surveillance-gone-horribly-wrong, she's building nicely to a better understanding of the Aimee-Rene dynamic, and has given us a delightfully stubborn (who can't relate to that?), clever and resourceful protagonist. In this outing, much of which occurs in/around Montmartre as the book's name implies, Aimee must investigate circumstances in which she became unwittingly involved so as to clear a childhood friend who is charged with the rooftop murder of her possibly-corrupt police partner. So it's the usual behind-the-scenes machinations of the different arms of the French government, the Byzantine dysfunction of the assorted arms of the French police, a disturbing surveillance program referred to as Big Ears, loads of Montmartre history and current demographics (including the music scene), and little bits of Corsican culture. All told, a tight storyline with marvelous sense of place. Onward to Murder on the Ile Saint-Louis!--which is esp. promising as that hits very close to home for Aimee given that it's where her apartment is located. "
