Murder in the Marais is a 1998 mystery novel by American novelist Cara Black. It is the first installment in the series following French private investigator Aimee Leduc.
Murder in the Marais was partially inspired by the mother of Black's friend, who discovered that her parents had been taken to Auschwitz in 1943, when she came to her apartment and found them gone.[1] When writing the novel, Black reportedly had no plans to write a series, but was encouraged to do so by her editor.[2]
As part of her research for the novel, Black interviewed three female private investigators from Paris, including Madeleine Dieudonné.[1]
Publication
Murder in the Marais was first published in 1998 by Soho Press.[3]
