Murder on the Left Bank

De: Cara Black

Narrado por: Carine Montbertrand

The 18th mystery in the New York Times best-selling Parisian detective series!

A dying man drags his oxygen machine into the office of Eric Besson, a lawyer in Paris' 13th arrondissement. The old man, an accountant, is carrying a dilapidated notebook full of meticulous investment records. For decades, he has been helping a cadre of dirty cops launder stolen money. The notebook contains his full confession - he's waited 50 years to make it, and now it can't wait another day. He is adamant that Besson get the notebook into the hands of La Proc, Paris' chief prosecuting attorney, so the corruption can finally be brought to light.

But en route to La Proc, Besson's courier - his assistant and nephew - is murdered, and the notebook disappears. Grief-stricken Eric Besson tries to hire private investigator Aimee Leduc to find the notebook, but she is reluctant to get involved. Her father was a cop and was murdered by the same dirty syndicate the notebook implicates. She's not sure which she's more afraid of, the dangerous men who would kill for the notebook or the idea that her father's name might be among the dirty cops listed within it. Ultimately that's the reason she must take the case, which leads her across the Left Bank, from the Cambodian enclave of Khmer Rouge refugees to the ancient royal tapestry factories to the modern art galleries.

Love the story and this narrator

Love this series and this narrator. Great to see Aimee getting closer to her goal and her Mother

Excellent reader!

She seamlessly switches from English to a lovely French, which is wonderful to listen to, and her voice gives Aimee added shades of personality. Although the story was complicated and a bit hard to follow while driving, I loved the twists and turns and the ever-developing relationships with those in Aimee’s inner circle. A very enjoyable book!

Narrator

She was terrible, very irritating. I would have returned the book but I love the series so
much. I was going to get the latest one but can’t stand the reader. Previously, I read the books.
