Synopsis
Perfect for fans of Miss Fisher&’s Murder Mysteries and Jane Austen alike, the latest in this delightful mystery series described as &“pure, unadulterated fun&” (Publishers Weekly) combines historical intrigue, wit, and a sophisticated Victorian setting with a charmingly independent heroine. Frances and her husband, George, have two points of interest in Paris. One is an impromptu holiday to visit the Paris Exposition. The other is personal. George&’s Aunt Julia has requested her nephew&’s help in looking into the suspicious death of renowned artist Paul Ducasse. Though Julia is not entirely forthcoming about her reasons, she is clearly a woman mourning a lost love. At the exposition, swarming with tourists, tragedy casts a pall on the festivities. A footbridge collapses. Julia is among the casualties. However, she was not just another fateful victim. Julia was stabbed to death amid the chaos. With an official investigation at a standstill, George and Frances realize that to solve the case they must dig into Julia&’s life—as well as Paul&’s—and question everything and everyone in Julia&’s coterie of artists and secrets. They have no shortage of suspects. There is Paul&’s inscrutable widow, Gabrielle. Paul&’s art dealer and manager, Lucien. Julia&’s friend Martine, a sculptress with a jealous streak. And art jurist, Monsieur Beaufoy. The investigation takes a turn when it&’s revealed that George has inherited control of Julia&’s estate—and another of her secrets. While George investigates, Frances safeguards their new legacy, and is drawn further into danger by a killer determined to keep the past buried.
