Murder in the Latin Quarter
“As soon as they were gone, it seemed as if the tension in the room began to dissipate. The old woman never looked at her any more. And the American treated her as most Americans treated their servants—as if she wasn’t even there. Oh, she made the obvious attempts at being friendly. But Amelie felt only revulsion towards her.
Whatever the American thought she was doing with Madame, it wouldn’t matter. It wouldn’t help.
As Amelie’s sainted mother had always said to her: The road is long a...nd curving but the end always comes.
The road for Delphine Normand had been long—too long and much longer than she deserved.
But the end was finally coming.
That was one thing Amelie—invisible though she may be—knew better than anyone else.
Maggie put Mila into her stroller and touched the hall light switch as Delphine carefully negotiated the landing outside her door.MoreLess
