Murder in Paris (en Inglés) - Alice Campbell

Catherine West flees a broken engagement in Boston for the sanctuary of Paris, answering a vague yet earnest summons from her cousin's widow, the enigmatic Mme. Bender. Her transatlantic escape is interrupted by an officious matchmaker, who thrusts her into the company of Geoffrey Macadam, a reserved English lawyer. As their train speeds toward the City of Light, a furtive glance and a hesitant question reveal a shared connection to the very household Catherine is destined for-and a disquieting sense that all is not well there.

Geoffrey's professional reticence and Catherine's own secret, a troubling letter from a stranger, transform a simple journey into a web of unspoken fears. Drawn together by circumstance and growing intrigue, they arrive in a Paris where elegance masks darker currents. To uncover the truth behind Mme. Bender's distress, Catherine must navigate a world of hidden motives, where every friendly gesture may conceal a danger, and the greatest threat lies in the secrets no one will confess.
