I have read all previous Victor Legris Mystery books and I loved every one of them so I have been extremely excited when this was announced to be released. I have expected to read amazing storyline with gripping plot and of course I wasn't disappointed! The adventures of Victor, Joseph and Kenji continues even though Victor promised Tasha not to pursue his need to be "detective" but when one of his close friends dies, he cannot resist it. The story is really good and I cannot wait for other books to be translated!

Historical mystery at its best!
5 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Once again, Claude Izner brings us a mystery set in late 19th century Paris which both entertains and educates. The intricate mystery is set against a fascinating backdrop brought together with our old friends Victor, Tasha, Kenji, Iris and Jojo and new characters both entertaining and disturbing. The relationships between Victor and Tasha and Iris and Jojo continue to evolve as Victor and Jojo set out on another adventure - this time involving an intricate swindle, murder, and deception. At the same time, we are treated to vignettes of Parisian history unknown to many of us and told from the perspective of the men and women who lived during the period. Highly recommended as are all of the books in the series to date.
Predator of Batignolles

I love these sisters! Although this is the fifth in the Legris' series, and I found myself getting confused in this particular mystery novel, (it may be from reading at the end of too long a day) I still would recommend this to those who like well-researched historical novels and a good convoluted mystery. And the translator should also receive a pat on the back.
