The Madame Blanc Mysteries - Season 2

Jean and Charlie are opening their new antiques shop, but the celebration is interrupted by the news that Jeremy has been taken to the police station. The body of a young woman is found on a cabin cruiser, but is he to blame?

Jeremy and Judith are at the wake for Anna Dumonet, a leading light in the Sainte Victoire theatre. Jeremy introduces Jean to Anna's daughter, Vivienne, an antiques dealer, and her stepfather Jules, a theatre director. When Vivienne suddenly leaves in tears, Jean knows there's more to this than meets the eye, and is soon mixed up in a deadly family saga.

Jean and Dom assist Caron in solving a murder in a beautiful but remote country mansion. Robert Coste lives in the house with his devoted housekeeper and his troublesome son. He has recently sold the house to Jeremy and Judith and is moving to Paris. As Jeremy and Judith arrive to start refurbishing their new investment, a gunshot rings out. Judith races into the house and is horrified to find Robert shot at his kitchen table, clasping a unique key. Did someone not want him to leave? And why did he ask his neighbour to sign his new will only the night before? When Caron calls Jean to help, she finds herself in a house full of the most beautiful antiques and can't wait to discover what the key could unlock. But first someone needs to persuade Jeremy and Judith to leave! As Caron and Gendarme Richard set up an incident room in the mansion, Jean explores the house, trying the key in every lock she sees. It's a huge task and the eventual truth is unexpected — even for Jean. Caron is convinced that the killer will return and when he suggests to Jean that they set up a stakeout that night, Dom is eager to join in. Will the murderer walk into Caron and Jean's trap? And with Jeremy and Judith anxious that an inconvenient murder doesn't derail their refurbishment, why does Dom really want to help Jean out? Meanwhile, love rolls into town for Gloria when a mystery man brings his car to the garage, but her newfound happiness has an unexpected effect on her friends. Will she have to choose between friendship and love? An isolated murder, a midnight stakeout and love in the air… all the elements of a classic murder mystery in Sainte Victoire!

Jean takes David and George to see her new shop. They fall in love with it and excitedly look through all the antiques. Jean gifts George one of her treasures. One of David and George's wedding presents was a mysterious pack of old Tarot cards and Jean leaves them for Charlie to examine. Charlie is shocked to discover that they are no ordinary Tarot cards. They are very old, very valuable… and very cursed! Jean doesn't care about curses and rushes home to tell David what the cards are worth, but David and George are more concerned about the curse. Now David is sure that someone or something is out to get him! After another attempt is made to hurt David, George insists that he and David must leave - immediately! He books a hire car and they make off to Marseilles. An old friend tells Jean what he thinks is really happening and Jean is forced to ask Dom to help her find David and George, before the threats turn deadly. Can Jean and Dom get to them before it's too late?

There's a whiff of murder in Sainte Victoire when Raffy Ozanne is found lying dead in his own shop, leaving his brother Raimund distraught. Cooper was Ozanne Perfumery's last customer of the day and Raffy is locking up after him, when a robber wearing a clown mask forces his way in. He ties Raffy up, gags him and steals the takings. Raffy starts to suffocate. Hearing the commotion Raimund comes in, but he is too late to save his brother. Jean and Dom arrive at Ozanne's, as Raffy's body is being taken away. As well as the takings, an antique perfume bottle was stolen, and Caron needs Jean's help to trace it to the murderer. The prime suspect is a group of robbers that have been operating in Toulouse, but they need proof. Gloria and Cooper are having breakfast when Gendarme Richard calls to confirm that she's bringing her car in to be fixed. Cooper offers to take Douglas for a walk. Afterwards, Cooper surprises Gloria wearing a mask that Douglas dug up on his walk. Gendarme Richard recognises it as the mask worn by the Toulouse robbers and immediately takes Cooper in for questioning. Barbara has deadly plans to rid herself of Jean and with Simone's help knows just how to do it. Under questioning, Cooper insists on his innocence, but the circumstantial evidence is stacked against him. He was at the perfumery. He had the mask. Could he have killed Raffy? When Caron asks Gloria about Cooper, the two months they've been together don't persuade him that she can vouch for Cooper's character. Jean promises Gloria that she will help. Can Jean prove Cooper's innocence and reunite him with Gloria? Or will Barbara get to her first?
