Cara Black has been writing since 1999, and the bulk of her 34-book catalog belongs to the Aimee Leduc Investigations series. That series runs to over twenty entries, each one named “Murder in” or “Murder on” or “Murder at” a different Paris location, from the Marais to la Villette. The Aimee Leduc books appeared almost every year from 1999 through 2024, making it one of the longer-running mystery series set in a single city.

Outside the Aimee Leduc world, Black wrote the Kate Rees series, which includes Three Hours In Paris and Night Flight to Paris alongside several chronicles titles. She also has a non-fiction companion guide to the Aimee Leduc series, a handful of anthologies (including My Sherlock Holmes and Making Story), and a standalone novel called Huguette coming in 2025. With 34 books over more than two decades, the Paris setting ties most of her work together.
