Set in the South of France, the first in the Jacquot series, JACQUOT AND THE WATERMAN, follows Chief Inspector Daniel Jacquot's investigation into a series of disturbing killings, where the female victims are always left submerged in water. Ex-French National Rugby Squad player Jacquot is a lover of blues, good food and wine, and disconsalate after his girlfriend leaves him, plunges himself into the investigation whole-heartedly. A wonderful book for the francophile, it is highly atmospheric, and full of warmth and wit.
