MURDER IN SAINT-GERMAIN Aimee Leduc, Book 16

This is Number 16 in the popular audiobook series featuring the sassy Parisian private investigator Aimée Le Duc. Each mystery focuses on a different Paris neighborhood, charmingly described and richly detailed. Narrator Carine Montbertrand, who is partly French, is the perfect narrator. In this installment, the intrepid but highly stressed heroine uncovers war criminals, arms dealing, and government cover-ups, and, of course, murders while struggling with babysitter problems, an ex-husband, and a dying mentor. Montbertrand has no difficulty pronouncing the names of streets and restaurants or portraying the many Parisians who speak through her vibrant, smooth voice. Listening to this production is like a whirlwind tour through historical streets, ancient tunnels, and other venues led by a smart, stylish guide.
