Murder in the Marais
Book description
In the Jewish quarter of Paris an old nightmare is reborn.

Why read it?
1 author picked Murder in the Marais as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Better than any travel book, I’d recommend a Cara Black novel before going to Paris. I love her focus on a single district, or Arrondissement, in each of her Aimée Leduc detective novels. I especially like how she brings to life the history of each neighborhood. This is the first of the 20-book series and my favorite neighborhood in Paris. Aimée navigates politics and historic atrocities to solve the killing of an elderly Jewish woman, all the while trying to stay alive herself. You can almost smell the freshly baked baguettes.
