Fresh from solving the Pontcourt murders and then saving a kidnapped merchant’s daughter, young musketeer Charles de la Forêt is assigned a new case: investigate the murder of a marquis in the wealthy Marais district of Paris.

Despite the deep rivalry between the Musketeers and Cardinal Richelieu’s guardsmen, Charles is forced to work with guardsman Henri Reynard. The two men must overcome their differences if they are to determine who poisoned the marquis before forces in the upper echelon of the 17th-century French nobility put a stop to the case.

Capturing the mystery and adventure that gripped readers of the first book in the Charles de la Forêt series, The Pontcourt Murders, this follow-up, Murder in the Marais, introduces an expanding cast of colorful and intriguing characters. Readers with an interest in mysteries, musketeers, and French history will not want to miss the continuing adventures of musketeer Charles de la Forêt.

good story

AI is a 'text reader', NOT a storyteller. Difficult to get past mispronunciations, especially with French terms and names.

The worst Audible purchase ever!!

If you ever see these words on Audible “narrated by virtual voice“RUN don’t walk —move rapidly away from a travesty. An elementary school student would have done a more effective job. Here she might even notice the context and be able to distinguish between bowing to a Contessa and a bow as in bowlegged.. in short, might’ve been a decent read if not ruined by so-called reader.
