Philippe Roche, of the quirky family-run private detective agency Roche and Son, has never been one to take a case for money, much to the dismay of his father Maxime. Phillippe’s in it for the thrill; he loves to fight injustice, solve the unsolvable or use a case to get close to an attractive client. Now that the agency is on the verge of collapse, Maxime reaches out to Nora Abadie (Sara Martins, Death in Paradise), a no-nonsense former French intelligence officer, to bring some discipline to the endeavor.

If you want to give a crime drama a try, might we suggest this snowy series that takes place in the same region as Cassandre?

Piste Noire follows a former ski champion turned gendarme as she and her curmudgeonly colleague investigate a murder in the French Alps.

Renowned criminology professor Louise Arbus recruits four students to help investigate a crime scene – and an off-beat new detective team is born! From the creator of Captain Marleau – another series fans of Cassandre will love.
