Frances Hazelton, the former Countess of Harleigh, and her new husband, George, receive an unexpected summons from George’s Aunt Julia in Paris, who wants to discuss a secret family matter. Deciding to make a longer trip out of their visit (to see the World Exposition), George and Frances travel to Paris, where they learn of Julia’s ulterior motives—she wants them to investigate the death of her former lover, artist Paul Ducasse. The trip takes an awful turn when, while the group is visiting the exposition, a footbridge collapses, and Julia is stabbed to death in the chaos. George and Frances must unravel the secret life that Julia led in France and how Ducasse is connected to her death. Narrator Sarah Zimmerman provides an immersive listening experience, capturing the intoxicating Parisian atmosphere and deftly navigating the story’s plotted twists and turns.
VERDICT Fans of Freeman’s “Countess of Harleigh” mysteries will be happy to read the latest installment in this lively series, following A Newlywed’s Guide to Fortune and Murder. Listeners who enjoy gentle, entertaining mysteries set in Victorian times will be equally invested.
