Murder in Passy (Thorndike Press Large Print Mystery Series)

The village-like neighborhood of Passy, home to many of Paris's wealthiest residents, is the last place one would expect a murder. But when Aimâee Leduc's godfather, Morbier, a police commissaire, asks her to check on his girlfriend at her home there, that's exactly what Aimâee finds. Xavierre, a haut bourgeois matron of Basque origin, is strangled in her garden while Aimâee waits inside, and Morbier is the prime suspect.
