this was a great sequel in the Henri Lefort Mystery series, it had what I enjoyed from the first book and the characters felt like the same people. It was so well done and I was invested in solving the mystery. Mark Pryor has a great writing style and I can't wait to read more in this series and the author.

“Don’t be insolent!” he yelled. Before I could open my mouth and be insolent again, he drew his hand back and slapped me across the face. I staggered back, pain searing my right cheek, anger exploding inside me. I stepped forward, but the old man tugged on my arm, holding me back. “He didn’t do it, monsieur,” the old man said. “He couldn’t; he was here with me.”

My thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the opportunity to read Mark Pryor's The Dark Edge of Night. Another excellent entry in Mr. Pryor's new WWII series. Interesting, quirky characters and impeccable research. More, please!
