About this book
Through the Wall by Cleveland Moffett sweeps listeners into an atmospheric Parisian mystery where a seasoned sleuth must pierce layers of deception to find the truth. Set against the Belle Époque streets and shadowed towers of Notre Dame, this classic literary mystery follows Inspector Coquenil as a string of curious incidents—a vanished woman, a stolen diary, strange footprints, and a haunting "moving picture"—coalesce into a tense investigation. Moffett’s crisp prose and episodic structure layer suspense with wry character studies, from pickpockets and hairdressers to aristocrats and convicts, while exploring themes of memory, justice, and the moral complexities of early twentieth-century urban life.
Rich in period detail and procedural ingenuity, Through the Wall captures both the glamour and the grit of 1909 Paris, marrying the puzzle-driven mechanics of detective fiction with the reflective tone of literary storytelling. Ideal for fans of classic detective novels and historical mysteries, this audiobook is perfect for listeners who enjoy methodical sleuthing, evocative settings, and a vintage mystery that rewards close attention and a taste for atmospheric, character-led suspense.
