Mrs. Duchesney Mysteries Francesca's Story - The Interview: The Mrs Duchesney Mystery Series, Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 478min
Mrs. Duchesney Mysteries Francesca's Story - The Interview.People often ask me, "How did Mrs. Duchesney become a famous Paris detective?" I tell them it should have been easy to predict that Francine Robinsworth Duchesney would find success doing something unexpected of a young woman from a small town in the American Midwest. For you see, she had never been what others in that part of the world might call "normal." When I came to Paris in search of Mrs. Duchesney, a person described to me as the legendary Paris Sleuth Extraordinaire, I did not imagine her to be the unassuming little woman seated alone on a bench in Parc Montsouris.There was nothing extraordinary about this vaguely fashionable bundle of clothes, whose face was hidden beneath a hat and eyeglasses. Born with an exceptional curiosity, in a small town jam-packed with well-preserved century-old mysteries, where indiscretions lined cellars and attics like jars of last year's apricots, Francine found no lie was so well constructed, no secret so well kept, no treasure so deeply buried that she could not discover it. My interviews with Mrs. Duchesney would be the focus of my first year in Paris. After that, I was completely seduced by the woman and the city, forgetting the reason I had come there and finding new reasons to stay. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert G.C. Jackson.

A Key to Paris: Mrs. Duchesney's Mystery in Parc Montsouris: The Mrs. Duchesney Mystery Series, Volume 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 724min
In Paris, there were simply too many beautiful women hiding too many secrets and this case was becoming too personal and too intriguing for Mrs. Duchesney to solve on her own. There was only one name on the engraved invitation - "Louie Arnaud Bertrand" - making it perfectly clear that Mrs. Duchesney was not welcome at Chateau de Robinesque - Roussel. Investigating the "very delicate nature" of this mystery would become her sleuthing partner Louie's first solo assignment. Mrs. Duchesney had to admit Louie was an excellent private detective, but at times like these his weakness for fiery-tempered women always made him act a bit too charming, foolish, and always far too seductive for his own good. It was so curious. Why would a woman who kept the chief inspector of the Paris police on her speed dial prefer the help of a former lover in solving a mystery? Unless, of course, she had something more to hide? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ian A. Miller. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/122721/bk_acx0_122721_sample.mp3.

Louie's Story: The Interview : Mrs. Duchesney Mysteries, Volume 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 442min
People often ask me, "How did Louie Bertrand become a famous Paris sleuth?" For our first interview, Louie Bertrand agreed to meet me at a café at one o'clock in the afternoon for "le petit dejeuner." This should have been my first clue, for it shouted this artist turned sleuth was a "night bloomer." After our first night out together my head was still spinning. I pleaded to his amused face, "Tell me again how you and Mrs. Duchesney met... but first, please, tell me where I was last night." Monsieur Bertrand smiled, poured us both a coffee, and began, "We met during her first summer in Europe, when she was looking for something or someone to give her young life meaning. I could not have imagined then that our lives would become intertwined for thirty more summers. It was not logical in any sense that she, seventeen and more child than woman, would have such a profound influence on me a man of thirty." From my interviews, I would learn that Louie Bertrand and his sleuthing partner Mrs. Duchesney were as different as...Well, as different as Paris in the daytime and Paris at night. ungekürzt.
