The Beach Of The Drowned (La Playa De Los Ahogados) (2015)

This murder mystery is about as complex and cinematic as an episode of Murder, She Wrote but Cabot Cove is the spectacular coastline of Galicia, Spain - the real star of the show - where anchored Spanish fishing boats jostle on the wind-swept Atlantic, where more and more vinos espaƱoles is sloshed into wineglasses on sun-bleached cafe terraces, and where the fish markets reverberate with the calls of auctioneers, all adding to a richly-detailed backdrop of what is unfortunately a very pedestrian mystery - Inspector Leo Caldes (of the Domingo Villar books) investigates when the body of a fisherman washes up on shore.  

★★☆☆☆
