“Evocative, gripping and beautifully written. I’ve recommended this book to everyone I know!” —Emerald Fennell

“Highly original, atmospheric and brilliantly conceived, Murder in Paris ’68, a true story, reads like a tremendous thriller: fascinating, disturbing and shrewdly compelling.” —William Boyd

“A stylish, intelligent page-turner, as gripping as a thriller film script.” —The Sunday Times

"Orgies, a film star and a body in the woods – the killing that bewitched France. It's a hell of a story.” —The Telegraph

“Chisholm's gripping book takes us into a world of gangsters, violence and underworld Parisian conspiracies. It’s a portrait of an entire culture at a single moment in its history, one that is now half-forgotten. A magnificent read.” —Lawrence Osborne

“A compelling, cinematic real-life noir which reads like a novel, a story which involves sex, politics, media and France’s greatest ever film star. Read it before they make the film.” —Dylan Jones

“An engrossing book. As in A Waiter in Paris, Edward Chisholm pierces the glitter to find the city’s seamy underside. And unlike the police of the time, he seems to have cracked the case.”—Simon Kuper

“A tremendous achievement, genre-defining, sexy, supple, scary. Chisholm gets us into the heads of all the characters, with the noir of Ripley and the street style and ineffable cool of the New Wave.” —Jason Solomons

"[A] remarkable book, utterly gripping" —Mail on Sunday

“The murder in question…[is] described with a stylishness appropriate to the air of mystery and danger that Delon radiated." —Strong Words Magazine

"[An] Enthralling account of a scandal that even now seems hard to believe." —The Irish Times
