Murder in Paris: An utterly addictive historical English cozy murder mystery (A Miss Underhay Mystery Book 21)

By Helena Dixon

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 delights of the French capital while visiting her grandmother’s best friend Eliza De Tourner. But the perfect afternoon drinking coffee and taking in the sights takes a very sour turn when she discovers the lifeless body of a beautiful young woman, Simone Belliste.

The police identify Eliza’s son as a suspect, but Kitty has other suspicions and is determined to find out who is really behind the murder of the dark-haired French beauty. But Simone had many admirers and everyone has a motive. Could it be the wealthy older Englishman who had been wooing Simone? One of her glamorous friends? Or her jealous younger sister?

Just as Kitty and Matt believe they’ve solved the crime, they receive a call that changes everything: Simone’s sister Nathalie has been found unconscious in her Parisian apartment, with valuable possessions stolen.

Can Kitty and Matt 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 sleuthing duo find the culprit before it’s adieu for both of them?

Fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey or Verity Bright will adore this utterly charming murder mystery. The perfect treat for cozy crime fans!
