Murder In Collioure - 2015 - 6/10
AKA - Meurtres à Collioure

A body, stuffed in a wooden barrel, packed with nails and glass shards, rolls down a steep hill.
Yeah, another grisly yet imaginative murder in the French countryside.
The local detective is assigned a partner from a nearby province.
I was hopeful for a bit. The assigned partner struck me as old enough to be the detective’s father.
Plus, the female detective lived with another woman. So, perhaps the door to romance was sealed.
No such luck.
Police procedural, rather creative, with more energetic writing, and diverse yet memorable characters.
For all that, this remains a formula, weekend mystery.
