Murder In Maussane - 2017 - 6/10
AKA - Crime Dans Les Alpilles (Crime in the Alpilles)
While taking early morning photos of Roman ruins, Caroline is shot dead through the eye.
Soon on the scene are the local inspector and lead prosecutor, dressed apparently for casual cocktails.
Rather than investigate local marksmen, they interrogate relatives, neighbors, passersby.
Those who answer, “I don’t know” they toss in jail.
The whole time, our leads act like immature adolescents, and have the chemistry of used socks.
Sadly, this is no parody, but merely a poorly written French mystery which fails to take advantage of gorgeous Provence mountain scenery.
