What is The Madame Blanc Mysteries Christmas Special about?

The Christmas Special follows Jean in Sainte Victoire as she is looking forward to spending Christmas with her new friends and Dom’s family who are coming to stay.

But as usual, trouble brews up!

Chief of Police and friend of Jean’s Andre Caron’s wife is brutally murdered and with no other suspects, it looks like Caron is guilty.

Especially with the investigator on the case, Inspector Gauthier, having an old personal grudge against Caron.

Caron enlists Jean’s help in helping him clear his name, and her expertise come in handy when we discover Caron’s wife worked in international art dealing.

Can Jean persuade Inspector Gauthier that Caron is innocent and bring the real murderer to justice?

Meanwhile, Dom’s Uncle Patrick and his grandson Archie are visiting for Christmas while Jeremy and Judith are staging a Christmas Grotto to raise money for the Sainte Victoire Theatre.

But Uncle Patrick has a past which involves a habit of stealing, and when Archie thinks he might have caught his grandfather stealing something from one of our Sainte Victoire favourites – will Christmas all go wrong?

Channel 5 promises it’s a: “festive story of murder, mystery and suspense all wrapped up with a classic Christmas twist.”
