Murder at the Louvre

By: Jim Eldridge

Narrated by: Peter Wickham

Paris, 1899. Abigail Wilson has received an invitation from Professor Alphonse Flamand, a prominent French Professor of Archaeology, to join him on an archaeological dig in Egypt. Overjoyed to be presented with such an opportunity, Abigail and her husband, Daniel, travel to Paris to meet the professor at his office in the Louvre to discuss plans.

However, when Abigail goes to the appointment, she finds Flamand dead with a knife in his chest. In a whirl of confusion and despite her pleas of innocence, Abigail is arrested.

Determined to prove that she has been framed for Flamand's brutal murder, Daniel and Abigail, the Museum Detectives, will delve far into the shadowy corners of the City of Light for the truth.

good continuation of series

this is a good continuation of the series, but not great. there are some minor flaws. one is the lecture on Napoleon. I can't imagine an English man needing this education. then there are several times where Abigail is better at basic detection than Daniel is, despite his greater experience. It pushes past believability a few times. The interwoven story of the Dreyfus affair is well done and holds pretty closely to the real case. looking forward to more museums. maybe one in the US?

Mystery Maven

Great entry! Well written, good puzzle, and excellent narration. This series gets better with every book and now the wait!

Fabulous

Loved being in Paris and the Louvre. Another great adventure and narration perfect. Just sad because this is the last one so far and hope there are more!
