The Madame Blanc Mysteries

Judith and Jeremy have loaned their boat to a group of marine biologists. While diving, Gary, one of the experts, discovers a rare gold coin and pockets it, but tragedy soon strikes when he goes into cardiac arrest in the water. Caron shows Jean the treasure and enlists her help to investigate the death. Was this team of scientists really combing the seabed for minerals or could something else have led to Gary's demise? 

It's early morning in Sainte Victoire and Gloria lets her dog Douglas out, unwittingly leading him to the discovery of a lifeless body with a fencing foil protruding from his chest, and in possession of an extremely rare diamond encrusted cufflink.

Caron, sensing a peculiar case, asks Jean to examine the ominous foil— which seems to be a 19th-century Epee du Combat. Eager for clues, Jean insists on scrutinising the confiscated swords back at the police station.

Dom arrives at La Couronne to find it closed. He's dragged inside by a concerned Judith and Jeremy who explain that the previous pub owners ran into financial troubles and they have secretly owned it for a few years now.

Back at the police station, Caron reveals that the stolen epee swords were part of a theft from a local museum. The victim, George Allaire, once a big-time local gangster, had taken a turn into petty theft. The mystery deepens as they ponder his demise and the inexplicable possession of the expensive cufflink?

Jean shows Charlie and Simone a photo of the cufflink, prompting Simone to admit to crafting a copy for a mysterious and potentially dangerous client.

We soon discover that it is not just any murder but a story of honour and the last-ever duel to take place in Sainte Victoire.

When an innocent lady is shot at the bus stop across the road from La Couronne, Caron is surprised to see her holding a shopping bag from Jean's shop.

Caron calls Jean, telling her about the murder and reveals that the victim, Belinda, recently snagged a first edition of Charles Dickens' novel Our Mutual Friend from Charlie at Brodeur and White.

The victim, Belinda, was nanny to a single father's young daughter. The father Otis is devastated - how will he break the news to his child about her much loved nanny?

During a casual darts game at the pub, Dom imparts a nugget of wisdom about precision, sparking Jean's imagination. Could the bullet have been meant for someone else?

Fayette Moreau, a specialist in rare books, steps into the spotlight. The Dickens book belonged to her, and threatening letters hint at a sinister connection to the bullet that found Belinda.

As Keith, Belinda's grief-stricken father, seeks solace at the pub, Jean and Dom are driven by a simple yet powerful goal: finding the killer and delivering justice to the mourning family.

In the sizzling world of fashion, Violet Oliver, the trendsetting designer, is releasing her brand-new Phoenician collection. Judith, buzzing with excitement, offers the grand Chateau as the backdrop for Violet and her husband Pascal's fashion spectacle.

The runway comes alive with stunning models flaunting the latest designs, attracting the crème de la crème of the fashion universe. Violet emerges to thunderous applause, but an unexpected technical glitch plunges her into darkness, causing a shocking fall from the balcony.

Against the odds, Violet survives the near-fatal plunge, but a jaw-dropping revelation follows. In a hushed conversation with Judith, Violet insists she was pushed. Judith, quick on her feet, turns to her confidante Jean, the queen of problem-solving.

Charlie's intuition kicks in when Cooper, collecting a bracelet for Gloria at the shop, triggers a familiar recognition. Jean delves into her investigation, arranging discussions with Lucia and Noemie, two potential suspects closely tied to Violet during the fateful fashion show.

Noemie receives a gift from Pascal, raising questions about her connection with him, and the mystery deepens as Jean wonders if there's more than meets the eye—could Noemie be harbouring a secret?

Gathering everyone at the Chateau, Jean unveils a revelation: Violet's attempted murder is just the tip of the iceberg. It appears that there is more dying than dyeing taking place in the fashion world than anyone would first expect.

Judith's birthday celebration takes an unexpected turn when Jeremy orchestrates a surprise party at one of Sainte Victoire's finest restaurants. Among the guests are Jean, Dom, and Judith's lifelong friends, sisters Delphine and Nancy. The festive atmosphere takes a chilling turn when Nancy excuses herself to the restroom, only to be abruptly kidnapped. 

Patrick tells Jean that 30 years ago he was responsible for identifying Sonny, a man sentenced to 30 years in prison. Can Jean solve a mystery before Sonny returns to take revenge?
