Primarily a police procedural, set in 1990s France, starting with the deaths of 3 generations of Germans, the eldest generation having been involved in the Occupation of France during WW2. Investigations are made interesting by the arrival of the attracive Marie-Ange who has her own way of investigating things. Then more deaths occur and it's up to Jacquot to sort out the links and ensure that the wrong man doesnt get jailed for the crimes ( ) The Angel (Jacquet Book 4). Martin O’Brien. 2005. I love these novels! All the members of a reclusive German family are brutally murdered and Jacquet is called in the run the investigation. The husband is a former Nazi and the daughter is the wife of a wealthy German so Jacquet has the assistance of a German policeman who I hope becomes a character in later books in the series. Slowly, slowly one minute clue at a time Jacquet figures out who killed the family. Along the way he has plenty of time to have long delicious dinners with his lovely girl friend, Claudine. He discovers that the root of the crime lies in events that took place during WWII. As usual the book is filled with descriptions of luscious scenery of the south of France and of marvelous food and wine. Great book for Francophiles and for mystery fans. Several generations of a German family that have been quietly living in Provence are gunned down in their home. They have been very secretive and unfriendly so the investigation into their death proceeds slowly. Chief Inspector Daniel Jacquot is asked to work along side a German comrade to untangle the mystery of these deaths. Before long a somewhat slow gardener is charged with the crime but there are clues that indicate hidden depths to this situation as well as threads that go back to the past when the olds in the village were young.

In the Second World War, four Resistance fighters are executed by the Gestapo in France's Occupied Southern Zone. More than fifty years later a wealthy German family, resident in Provence, is brutally murdered. When a local gardener is arrested and charged, Daniel Jacquot of the Cavaillon Regional Crime Squad is convinced they have the wrong man. Four hundred miles away, in Alsace, Marie-Ange Buhl knows it for certain. Marie-Ange is a psychic and has 'helped' the police before. She comes to Provence and begins to investigate with Jacquot, and together they uncover a secret that goes back more than half a century, a story of love and betrayal, hatred and blackmail in which his own family had a tragic part to play.
