Murder In Vendée - 2023 - 6/10
AKA - Les Secrets du Paquebot

A journalist is killed. Gendarmes arrive. Then a teacher is slain.
Only clue, a recently painted black hand print.
Our cop duo were once romantically linked, now estranged.
Interesting backstory of a 1920 shipwreck (true) carrying Senegalese troops home from the Great War.
Personalities and their dramas muddy a decent concept.
Filmed near Les Sables d’Olonne, photography is not as lush as most these flicks.
Concluding whodunit / whydunit is a shell game.
