Synopsis

Business is booming for Parisian private investigator Aimée Leduc. But she finds time to do a favor for her godfather, Commissaire Morbier, who asks her to drop by the gorgeous Passy home of his girlfriend, Xavierre d’Eslay, a haut bourgeois matron of Basque origin. Xavierre has been so busy with her daughter’s upcoming wedding that she has stopped taking Morbier’s calls, and he’s worried something serious is going on. When Aimée crashes the rehearsal dinner, Xavierre is discovered strangled in her own yard, and circumstantial evidence makes Morbier the prime suspect. To vindicate her godfather, Aimée must find the real killer. Her investigation leads her to police corruption, radical Basque terrorists, and a kidnapped Spanish princess.

Goodreads review by Marissa on October 03, 2021

I lived in Passy while studying abroad in Paris in 2007, so I had to pick up Murder in Passy when it appeared in the Little Free Library, even though it is the 11th installment in a long-running series. But I suspected this would be the kind of mystery series that helpfully reintroduces the main cha......more

"I paint, Mademoiselle. That's what I do. That's all I do. I'm not political," he said in a matter-of-fact tone. "Except in the sense that all art's political.
