I enjoyed Killer by the Lake, but couldn't help wondering if there are any vacancies in the French police force. They obviously pay enormously well, as the husband and wife couple Lise and Clovis live in a really big house, with immaculate new furniture and fittings. And they have a pretty good new-ish car too. Lise's mum is put in a very luxe looking old people's home which can't have been cheap - esp as we're told the mum's house burned down in the previous series. So not a lot of family money, and who's paying the care home bills?
Odd too that Clovis and Lise's house is so immaculate - no clutter or junk anywhere - I didn't spot a newspaper or a book or any clothes dumped on the sofa. All the more remarkable considering they have an 8 moth old baby - in my experience those family members generate a large amount of stuff.
I'm also struck by the fact that no one puts a password on any of their kit - laptop, mobile, all open and turned on all the time so that when a copper sneaks in and opens a laptop it instantly displays what he's looking for. You have only to pick up a mobile to see what chats the owner has been engaged in. That helps the pace of the drama no end.
Some odd decisions are made - the wife of the bad guy confronts him alone in the house to ask about the 5 murdered girls - not wise, I fear. And then towards the end the lady cop also goes alone to confront him. Not wise either.
But enough carping - it moves on fast, lots of action, and a strong ending. We're left to surmise what happens to the perp and his two little girls as their car leaves the road on an alpine pass.
