NOTE It is best to watch all the Madame Blanc episodes in order for the bigger story arcs. This episode has a good amount of plot content, especially as this series is a 40ish minute format. Some bits work better than other - ie the more original ideas but not the content many shows are covering, which has now become too predictable. I'm slightly worried that, like the last 3 episodes of Season 1, some of secondary and tertiary characters' are squeezing out Mme Blanc a bit - there are a lot of regular/recurring characters for a mystery show. It is a fine line as to whether this cast size is genius and original or a distraction from the title character.

Madame Blank mystery
coltras3519 October 2023
Judith orders Jeremy to sleep on their cruiser after he has too many drinks with the boys; the next morning, he clambers out of the cabin and trips over the dead body of a young woman, and inspector Caron's only clue is a Victorian comb in her pocket. Jeremy stumbles upon the body of a dead woman. The only clue to her identity is a Victorian comb in her pocket. Jean realises it's a cake comb, but what would she be doing with that?
A rather light-hearted and adequately done mystery with Sally Lindsay getting involved in a murdered lady found on the deck of a boat. The dialogue is a bit flat, the plot is merely adequate, but this episode lacks some punch.
