Nicolas Le Floch Affair: a Nicolas Le Floch Investigation by Jean-Francois Parot
Paris, 1774. Commissioner Le Floch's stormy love affair with socialite Julie de Lasterieux has run its course but before Nicolas can formally end the relationship, Julie is found murdered in her bed, a victim of poisoning. For now, he retains the confidence of even the King, who sends him on a secret intelligence mission. But a plot is afoot to implicate Nicolas in Julie's death, and he is soon fighting to uncover the perpetrators and clear his name.
'As historical mysteries go, Victorian England has its charms; but dirty, pestilential 18th-century France really promises a walk on the wild sideJean-Francois Parot delivers on that pledge with gusto.' Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review 'Suspenseful...This intelligent page-turner doesn't sacrifice detail for plot or visa-versa.' - Publishers Weekly 'Those who love historical mysteries will relish the period detail, court intrigues and tightly plotted story. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.' Iloveamysterynewsletter.com
