The year is 1928, and Louise Lloyd is going undercover in Paris at Club Minuit as a dancer to try and clear a dancer, Victoire, who worked there and was arrested for murdering the piano player. Along for the ride is her best friend Rafael, who will be the new piano player. She starts questioning everyone that was around that night and has some potential suspects but no solid evidence and soon finds her life in danger when she learns the shocking truth. This is a great look at the time period, the life of working as a dancer in a club, and a strong character in Louise Lloyd. This is the fourth novel featuring her, and I will read future books from now on.
