'Exotic and different...This debut novel is exceedingly well written and entertaining' (Huddersfield Daily Examiner )
OBriens evocation of the hot vibrant and seedy French port in which everyone seems to be a either a cop or a criminal, and sometimes both, is as masterly as Ian Rankins depiction of Edinburgh (Daily Mail )
`Well-drawn, strongly flavoured setting in Marseilleswith grisly forensics offering vital clues as to the nature of the crime while skilfully concealing the whodunitRich, spicy and served up with unmistakeable relish` Literary Review
Product Description
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.
