Murder in 17th century Paris submitted by kgolden65 on July 27, 2018, 8:32am A history of intrigue in Paris during the reign of Louis the XIV. Tucker pulled her research of that time into an interesting story. However, the details were sometimes muddled and the story was a little hard to follow. Overall, she did a good job of pulling things together, but I sometimes found myself lost.
