Petits meurtres en famille

Petits meurtres en famille is a French miniseries in four episodes of 90 minutes each produced by Escazal Films for France 2. It was directed by Edwin Baily with screenplay by Anne Giafferi and Murielle Magellan and was broadcast in France from 14 November 2006 to 5 December 2006. It is an adaptation of Christie's Hercule Poirot's Christmas.

Although it is sometimes regarded as a prequel or pilot for the later series Les Petits Meurtres d'Agatha Christie and features the same detectives Larosière and Lampion, it really exists in a separate fiction universe. Events in the miniseries preclude the events in the later series.

Synopsis
In 1939, Simon Le Tescou decides to reunite his entire family for his 70th birthday. It is not a happy reunion and before long he is found murdered. It is a typical locked-room mystery. Among the highly dysfunctional family, there is no shortage of suspects.
