The Crimes of Paris: A True Story of Murder, Theft, and Detection by Dorothy Hoobler, Thomas Hoobler

4.0

Very fun history of an unknown historical angle of the Belle Epoque. The French have a love of true crime and during this time period, crime became a huge part of the culture. This book traces famous crime sprees from art theft to bank robbery, and also explores the cultural fascination through works of fiction and fantasy serials.

An entertaining read for anyone who loves true crime stories, French history, forensics, and science.
