This is the story of Sammy and his aunt Meredith, who have once again found themselves in the middle of a murder mystery. They’re kind of famous for it! And they’re the kind of people who love giving each other puzzles in their downtime.
They’re in Paris to have a few French fauteuils appraised — Meredith recently bought them a set at auction — and she also wants to buy some fancy picture frames. But they’ve soon been robbed, and then the murder takes place, and they’re among the suspects. The detective in charge of the case doesn’t want them lurking about to solve it, but of course they lurk. A lot of the fun of the story is in how sure the detective is of his own powers of deduction.
Delightful book, and it’s always great to read a graphic novel full of Matt Kindt’s distinct art.
