Jacquot and the Waterman by Martin O'brien
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.
The only child of a headmistress and a naval officer, Martin O'Brien was educated at the Oratory School and Hertford College Oxford.

He left journalism for a few years to co-write screenplays and start a film production company. After 20 years of living in London, Martin, his wife and two daughters moved to the countryside, where he started to write the Jacquot books...
