Review: Napoleonic Paris Crime Novel
Rating: 4 out of 5

I enjoyed reading this historical Napoleonic Paris crime novel. The characters were real people with real problems of the day. I especially liked Duval, an ex-military man who was wounded and had to leave the service and the police officer who died too early in the book.The author takes us on a tour of the life in Paris after Napoleon took power and she does a good job of making their feelings reflect the different viewpoints of the day. Her characterizations, along with just enough description, make the story jump out of the pages. She did a great job with her research. I would recommend this book to any historical crime buff.
