Aaaand, I'm giving up. She still can't see, but I'm pretty sure by some miracle her vision will return at some point in this book. The plot jumps around way too much, and I'm tired of rewinding. Too bad.

An interesting story, very French. Our heroine has a major setback but manages to sniff out the bad guy all the same.

Aimee is attacked and loses her sight and is forced to try to figure out who attacked her and killed another woman while coping with being blind. Her partner in the detective agency is used to working on computers but now he is getting out in the field and questioning people. They have a client who they are having problems with and it was at a meeting with him that started the whole series of events. He us some how involved in all of it but they are having a hard time figuring it out. Some of Aimee's police contacts are not being helpful.
The history of the Bastille area is told in bits and pieces throughout the story by Aimee's contact with different people. The area has been changing over time and some of the concerns about this are voiced. The story has many assorted characters and each has their own stories to tell and issues to cope with. Aimee learns what it is like to function as a blind person and how the other blind people she meets handle it.
