(DVD Madame)
British antiques dealer Jean White learns her now-late husband — killed in a suspicious auto accident — had pulled all their money out of the business leaving her penniless, and he possibly had an affair. Also, a valuable ruby ring is missing from the vehicle. She has one asset left and that’s a cottage in fictional Sainte-Victoire, a village in the south of France. She leaves Cheshire, England to get the cottage ready and sell it.
Still reeling from his lies and his
death, she meets several members of the community and is pulled into their
lives and community activities. She befriends the local police officer when her
antiques expertise helps resolve the first case, and he asks her to be his
assistant in the future when necessary. Which turns out to be often.
Originally aired by Acorn TV, this
is a character-drive, contemporary, cozy murder mystery series with also a
romance between Jean and another character that advances slowly. Each episode
is approximately 45 minutes in length. Be sure to turn on closed-captioning
unless you understand both English and French. The English translation is
provided on-screen when French is spoken.
The library owns Series One (six
episodes) and Series Two (seven episodes).
