This French crime drama is set in a small coastal town by the English Channel. There have been a series of bizarre crimes; somebody has been digging up murder victims and leaving the bodies in local show-homes; they also leave items that point to former chief-of-police, Paul Maisonneuve. Detective Sandra Winckler is investigating the case and brings Maisonneuve in to see what light he can shed on the mystery. As they investigate possible links between the bodies it becomes clear that Maisonneuve has made some dangerous enemies in the past; is the grave robber one of these people taunting him or is it somebody trying to get him to investigate the link between the men and solve another crime?
We've had plenty of fine Euro-crime dramas on British television the last few years and this is another good one. The location is atmospheric and strangely familiar not too surprising when you think of the proximity of Northern France to Southern England. The mystery is unusual enough to get the viewer gripped from the start. As the story progresses and we meet various suspects the sense of danger increases. Right up till the downbeat ending I was unsure how the story would be resolved a good thing in a mystery. The cast do a fine job; particularly Marie Dompnier, who plays Sandra Winckler and Thierry Lhermitte who plays Paul Maisonneuve. At only six episodes the story doesn't drag on, neither does it feel rushed though. Overall a really good series; I'd certainly recommend it to anybody who enjoys the darker toned Euro-dramas.
