Ambientato nella Parigi di fine '800 e con sullo sfondo le vicenbde politiche riguardanti l'affair Dreifuss.
Una narrazione che non mi ha preso, manca l'ambientazione dell'epoca, sarebbe potuto accadere in qualunque luogo e qualunque tempo e la storia non è particolarmente avvincente. I riferimenti politici, l'incontro con Oscar Wilde..... mal si fondono con il giallo.

Abigail and Daniel Wilson, the famed “Museum Detectives” stumble onto a murder at the Louvre. Once Abigail is cleared of the murder after a few chapters of the coppers chasing a big red herring, our intrepid pair tour the museum, stumble into the Dreyfus Affair, learn about gay life in Paris circa 1900, and spend a few moments with Oscar Wilde. The murder does get wrapped up — as expected, and the detectives add to their justifiable fame.

This is a series with a silly premise — but no worse than crime solving cats or the Prince of Wales as crime solver. It’s all very lightweight and fine for audiobook, if a little bit too long. However, much of the filler consists of some interesting history lessons, pleasantly delivered. So maybe good for a long drive where attention may wander, and you could learn something.
