The Lerouge Case: An aristocratic scandal, a switched identity, and a murder that covers it all.
About this audiobook
In the quiet riverside village of La Jonchere, the Widow Lerouge is found brutally murdered in her locked cottage. The local police, convinced it was a simple robbery, are ready to close the book on the grisly crime. But they haven't counted on the intervention of Monsieur Tabaret, an eccentric and brilliant amateur detective with a penchant for unraveling the impossible.
As Tabaret sifts through the ashes and examines the unseen footprints of the killer, he uncovers a far darker motive. The widow was the keeper of a terrible secret—a scandalous conspiracy involving a wealthy nobleman, a child swapped at birth, and a stolen inheritance. Now, the true heir's only witness is dead, and the documentary proofs have been turned to ash.
Written by Monica Downey, The Lerouge Case is a masterclass in classic detective fiction. Blending meticulous forensic deduction with high-stakes aristocratic drama, this intricate mystery will keep you guessing as the brilliant old amateur races against time to catch a sophisticated killer before the trail goes cold.
