    Jacquot has a Samson time
  

*by N***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 March 2012*

This is inspector Daniel Jacquot the former French rugby star as you don't know him.  Working undercover in Marseilles with his pony tail shorn off.  By Jacquot standards this is a gruesome tale.  It tells the story of young girls kidnapped from across Europe, drugged and delivered to Marseilles for the export trade in white slaves.  The interaction between their captors, who are inconvienced by a dock strike, and one of the local crime families is the meat of the story.  Be prepared for some quite graphic descriptions of torture and murder by the saadist thugs.  The story will certainly hold your attention.I felt though that, like Samson, Jacquot's power was shorn off with his pony tail.  The unravelling of this case is driven by the 'visions' of the attractive Marie-Ange and without her role everything would have turned out very differently.  Perhaps a little bit of the 'supernatural' adds spice to a plot but I think there is an over-reliance on it in this book. It stretched this reader's patience and devotion to Jacquot.  Perhaps in the next book in the series Jacquot will be back on home territory, with Claudine, using his brain and intelligence to solve crime rather than the crutch of the psychic revelations of miss Marie-Ange.  Let's hope.

    Not so sure
  

*by J***F on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 January 2010*

Sorry to be a downer but why on earth did O'Brien take Jaquot back to Marseille? Perhaps selfishly, I'd got to love reminiscing about those little roads, squares and cafes in rural Provence. OK, this is crime fiction and there is more to find in Marseille docks let's face it than up in the hills. I did feel though that Jaquot himself, although technically on home turf wasn't what I believe to be 'himself'. I don't think his burgoning relationship is tackled well and I'm afraid I really really didn't like the return of Marie Ange. I simply cannot accept the 'insight' she apparently brings. I wish he'd left her as a one-off.I wonder if, like me, many read Jaquot for the locale and the atmosphere. [There are, I have to say, better crime novels around.] I have happy memories of Provence, but not of Marseille's docks! And I'm sure many of you know of the up-and-coming Bruno in the Dordogne. Jaquot's been a great trip so far and I hope he bounces back but I do feel this one was a blip.

    A good read but quite nasty in places
  

*by T***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2014*

Being a Francophile, I do like the Jacquot novels and this one was no exception.  However, I found myself skipping pages rather quickly because of the extremely unpleasant violence in this book.  Admittedly the baddie (female in this case) was not a nice lady at all but I did not enjoy the blow by blow (literally) accounts of her misdeeds.  Mr O'Brien tends to cram a lot of action into his books and I sometimes feel that the character development suffers accordingly.  Having said that, the series has been generally very enjoyable.  I wonder if anyone will start giving books a grading for violent content as we do films?  I think my preferred rating would be PG.....
