Thanks to Bookouture Books and NetGalley for my gifted ebook to write my honest review.
Freshly baked baguettes, a moonlit walk beneath the twinkling lights of the Eiffel tower, sunset over the rooftops… and oh là là! A murder in the French capital? This is one for Kitty Underhay!
Paris, 1937. Kitty Underhay, with a croissant in hand and her handsome husband Matt by her side, is soaking up the delightfully Parisian charms of the French capital. Kitty is full of joie de vivre, but the afternoon takes a very sour turn when she stumbles across the body of a beautiful young woman, Simone Belliste, murdered in broad daylight.
Kitty and Matt are determined to work out who could be behind her death. A pair of scissors found at the scene points them towards the killer, but Simone had many admirers and everyone has a motive. With Kitty’s grandmother worried for her old friend Eliza De Tourner, whose son the police have identified as a suspect, any accusation could easily turn out to be a faux pas and they must tread carefully. Could it be the wealthy older Englishman who had been wooing Simone? One of her glamorous friends? Or her jealous younger sister?
But just as Kitty and Matt are jotting down their list of suspects, they receive a call: Simone’s sister Nathalie has been hurt at home, with valuable possessions stolen from her apartment. Can they unravel the secrets surrounding the two sisters? Or will their involvement in the case mean they’ll be next in line…?
With a murderer in their midst, can the team of two find the killer before it’s adieu for both of them? Or will this Parisian sojourn be their last?
Fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey or Verity Bright will adore this utterly charming murder mystery. The perfect treat for cozy crime fans!
My Review
Kittie Underhay is back! 21 books in, and I always adore reading the latest offering from Helena Dixon. They never get old, I don’t think they ever will for me!
Kitty and Matt Underhay are visiting Paris accompanying her aunt. She wants to return to the city of her younger days and meet with her friend. They find themselves in the centre of a murder investigation yet again! This time, it’s the French police they are dealing with, but there is a lot for Kitty and Matt to dig up. Will they be able to solve this one?
As always, Helena Dixon has impeccably researched Paris of the 1930s. I was swept back in time with Kitty and Matt. I always feel like I am by Kitty’s side, whichever book I am reading. The elegance and Joi de Vivre that I always think of with Paris was so present.
The characters are so well developed, with being a long-standing series. I feel like I am back with old friends whenever I return to these books. Murder in Paris is another brilliant read. I was glued to the Kindle yet again! A cosy mystery series I would 100% recommend!
