Still Life: A Three Pines Mystery (2013)
Inspector Lynley goes to Quebec
What a disappointment, Inspector Lynley goes to Quebec and is still having problems with his wife.
Having read most of Louise Penny's books based in the Province of Quebec I expected the dialogue to be in English but English as spoke by a Francophone in Quebec. I have grown weary of Inspector Lewis, Miss Marple, Poirot, etc. based in upper class English settings. The Chief Inspector Gamache series is much more interesting based in Quebec with all of the Francophone influences. Surely there are enough English speaking Francophone actors in Canada to fill out the roles. Even the actor playing Inspector Jean-Guy Beauvoir is apparently fluent in French, wow, couldn't come up with an accent.
What a shame that none of the Quebec atmosphere survived the film making. Just another English who done it.
