What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Un meurtre (presque) parfait gives its murder mystery a bright Corsican backdrop and a dry sense of humor. The sumptuous villa offers glamour, but the family gathered around a hated luxury boss supplies a classic whodunit puzzle: several relatives had reasons to want him dead. With little gore and a playful tone, the suspense rests on sorting through those motives rather than dwelling on the violence.

Laure and Pica bring sharply different energies to the investigation. Laure cultivates an air of mystery, towering heels and deadly wit; her assistant answers with messy hair, colorful shirts and loud laughter. Their bickering adds comedy to the detective work, while Pica struggles to satisfy her whimsical boss. Laure’s interest is not entirely selfless, either: the truth could become material for her next novel.
