PI Aimee Leduc is at it again -- sprinting on designer heels through the hidden backstreets of Paris -- this time in an area called Chinatown in most major cities. Business partner Renee is madly in love with Meizi, who may be caught up in a suffocation murder steps away from where Meizi, Rene, Aimee and Meizi's parents are eating dinner. Is there a connection between textile sweatshops, illegal immigration and centuries old art? Quick and entertaining. I have been taking this series out of order, but haven't suffered much yet as a result. (

Another entertaining burst of rushing energy with Aimee Leduc, this time in Chinatown. References to the Resistantes, women who fought undercover for France against Nazi rule broaden her main theme of the terrible lives of Chinese workers in Chinese run sweatshops in Paris. (

Perhaps, this series has run it's course. It's been a favorite of mine, but I was not impressed with this entry. There seemed to be too many issues secondary to the main plot and at least one attack on Aimee that didn't make sense. (

Fiction. Mystery. Thriller. HTML:The twelfth Aim�e Leduc investigation set in Paris

Lost secrets of the Parisian Knights Templar, dangerous Chinatown sweatshops, dirty policemen, and botched affairs of the heart�the 12th Aim�e Leduc mystery is the most exciting yet!

Aim�e Leduc is happy her longtime business partner Ren� has found a girlfriend. It�s not her fault if she can�t suppress her doubts about the relationship. And her misgivings may not be far off the mark: Meizi disappears during a Chinatown dinner to take a phone call and never returns to the restaurant. Minutes later, the body of a young man, a science prodigy and volunteer at the nearby Mus�e, is found shrink-wrapped in an alleyway�with Meizi�s photo in his wallet.

Aim�e does not like this scenario one bit, but she can�t figure out how the murder is connected to Meizi�s disappearance. The dead genius was sitting on a discovery that has France�s secret service keeping tabs on him. Now they�re keeping tabs on Aim�e. What has she gotten herself into? And can she get herself�and her friends�back out of it alive?
