Product Description
Product Description
These are difficult times for Nicolas Le Floch: Louis XV is dead and Nicolas's boss Sartine has been promoted to Minister of State for the Navy. Le Noir, Sartine's successor as Lieutenant General of Police, distrusts Le Floch. Monsieur de Saint-Florentin, the King's new minister, entrusts Commissioner Le Floch with the investigation into the murder of a chambermaid whose throat was cut in unusual circumstances at Saint-Florentin's home. His inquiry takes place both in Paris and Versailles, where he secures his position alongside the King and must confront the mysteries of the Trianon and the horrors of Bicetre. This fifth exciting adventure for Nicolas Le Floch has it all: serial crimes and a bizarre murder weapon, as well as debauchery, espionage, and the follies of a young court where ancient rivalries and grudges still linger.

Bought this as I had read the previous books in the series. I enjoy the information about Paris in the 1700's and the descripton brings alive the sights (and smells) of that period. As usual with most detectives, Nicholas has the ability to bring memories out of his back pocket to assemble them in sequence in order to solve the mystery. Good nevertheless, bit surprised he isn't married yet though!
Format:Paperback
Several books in and the standard is still maintained. Like most French crime novels they are full of quirky characters but with Parot they don't grate as much as with others. Not do only the bloody deeds and unwholesome locations keep coming but so do the recipes. Nicholas has to adapt to a new regime, suspicious of his old connections. The problems of working in a world that relied entirely upon patronage are well set out and an integral part of the stories. I'm hoping the tales can make it all the way to the revolution.
