Alice and Liz, two Americans, have come to Paris for a dream vacation. They rent a beautiful apartment in the Latin Quarter and are ready to explore Paris.

Unfortunately, the day after they arrive, their landlord is found dead in their kitchen.

Can Alice solve the crime? And can you solve it while improving your French?

Learn French through an entertaining mystery

If you're learning French—or trying to refresh the French you studied years ago—reading a novel in French can feel intimidating.

This book is designed to make it easier and more enjoyable.

The story is written in easy, conversational French for adult learners from beginner to intermediate (A1–B2). You can read at your own pace and check the English translation whenever you need it, so you can enjoy the mystery without getting stuck on every unfamiliar word.

You'll also find exercises after each chapter. So instead of studying another textbook, you can:

Read a mystery. Learn new French. Review what you've learned. And have fun along the way.
