★★★★
HOW are five strangers linked to the disappearance of one woman in a remote French farming community? That’s the burning question at the heart of this scintillating Euro crime thriller based on Colin Niel's novel.
The answer is intricate and multilayered, connecting the actions of French farmers, African online scammers and lonely French wives in a beautifully crafted drama told from each character’s point of view.
