The Death in Paris Mystery series follows Rachel Levis and Magda Stevens, two American friends living in Paris who keep finding themselves drawn into murder investigations. Death in Paris (2018) starts when a wealthy acquaintance dies under suspicious circumstances, and the two friends discover they have a talent for noticing what the police overlook.

The Books of the Dead (2019) takes them into the world of rare books and libraries, while Designs on the Dead (2021) involves the Parisian fashion industry. Each book uses a different corner of Parisian culture as the backdrop for its mystery, and Bernhard’s familiarity with the city gives the series an authentic atmosphere that goes beyond typical tourist locations.
