Prudence and Belisaire Beresford fetch up in a dodgy French health retreat to investigate the disappearance of a wealthy Russian heiress in this well-made and watchable Agatha Christie crime romp directed by Pascal Thomas. It stars André Dussollier (Amélie) and Catherine Frot (The Page Turner) as a sophisticated couple of sleuths who bite off more than they bargained for but never make a meal of things when it comes to solving crime.
