Meurtres en Haute-Savoie

The historical reference, the connections between siblings and their father, the not most inspired story of revenge and the too easy predictable murderer, the aspects of case, the past love story and the connections between characters, the old secrets and the good acting , the atmosphere of small community and the location are the real good points of episode from a series looking for give a fresh perspective about genre.

Well crafted, it propose a fair frame for a murder and its roots. And this makes more than interesting a story some different by ordinary recipes.

This was an excellent episode of this mostly fantastic series! Although I will go on to praise the cast and the writing, the scenery gets first mention here. Why can't we all live in a world that beautiful?

The buildings and scenery are similar to the area shown in the excellent "The Best Of Us". If Google maps has directed me right, Bonneval-sur-Arc is about 2 hours' drive from Haute-Savoie.

The mystery is excellent, really puzzling. There are many twists here and the detectives, siblings, get under each other's skin at every turn. I'll just repeat that this is a great episode, although it was emotionally wringing. Watch it when you are prepared for that.

I usually watch this show on a streaming service called Hoopla which shows many of the MhZ network shows. It is a service you get through your public library and watch on a Roku or on your computer. Ask at your library if they have the service. However, this episode was from the group missing from Hoopla and I was able to get it from Target on DVD. It is Set 3. It is expensive, but has about 22 episodes.

Another fantastic show I watched on Hoopla was Captain Marleau. Please ignore the goofy art they put on the show title!
