The Devil in Montmartre: A Mystery in Fin de Siècle Paris by Gary Inbinder
4.0
The Setting; Paris, end of the 19th century, two weeks before closing ceremonies of 1889 Expedition Universelle, Jack The Ripper is still fresh news.
When the torso of Virginie Ménard, a dancer at the Moulin Rouge is discovered, the police fears a polemic (Jack The Ripper) and tries to close the case as soon as possible.
Inspector "Achille Lefebvre", head of the invistigation, is a believer in modern investigative technics, he always tries to include new ways to solve the crimes. A fact that will earn him the sobriquet of "The professor". Bearly thirty, this man is very effective and can not be corrupted, wich means trouble for some guys.
Even if it's easy to guess who did it pretty early, the particular thing about this mystery that the other books lack is the journey, the way Mr [a:Gary Inbinder|2750098|Gary Inbinder|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1441640245p2/2750098.jpg] describes "Fin de Siècle Paris", the can-can dancers, the flourishing art and artists, the everyday life of the different characters and the introduction to technics considerd new then is simply amazing!
I liked that book very much, I tried to make the reading last as long as I could, but, good things always come to an end!
Getting to the next on soon!
