An Aimee Leduc Investigation

Aimee Luduc Investigations

Aimée Leduc is a fictional character, created by author Cara Black, who first appeared in print in 1998. She is a Paris-based, modern, female, private investigator. The mystery series is called Aimée Leduc Investigations. Aimée Leduc is French, born to an American mother and a French police investigator. Her mother disappeared when she was eight years old. She was raised by her father, who removed all reminders of her mother's existence. She lives in Paris during the 1990s. She attended the famous Sorbonne as a pre-med student, but decided that medicine is not her forte and chose to take over the Leduc Investigation firm after her father's death during a stakeout. She specializes in computer investigation with her partner Rene, her friend from her Sorbonne days. Her adventures take her to the many and varied areas of Paris.  Leduc is a sharp, fashionable, hip, and quite headstrong young woman who has assumed the investigative mantle left to her by her father. During the course of her investigations she often finds a need for disguise or for hacking into computer systems. Aimée often puts herself in danger and at times gets injured. As do many detectives, she has a satellite-system of oddball side characters. René Friant, a dwarf and computer expert, is her partner. Commissaire Morbier is her god-father and sometimes helps her on cases or with official leverage. Inspector Melac is her implacable, hardnosed rival on the police force. The Leduc series often explores in realistic detail her fictional Parisienne community, ambience, and landscape. It is also notable for interweaving complex familial intrigue and emotions into the standard mystery plots. She is always in search of her father's murderer, her vanished mother, and, in the later books, involved with sibling-related subplots.Aimée Leduc is a fictional character, created by author Cara Black, who first appeared in print in 1998.

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”

William Faulkner

“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”

“When the Day of Judgment dawns and people, great and small, come marching in to receive their heavenly rewards, the Almighty will gaze upon the mere bookworms and say to Peter, “Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them. They have loved reading.”
