Jacqueline Cassard

In Jeux de glaces, the TV film adaptation of Agatha Christie's They do it with Mirrors by France Télévisions, Jacqueline Cassard is the parallel of Mildred Strete in the original novel. Jacqueline Cassard is portrayed by Solveig Maupu.

In this adaptation, Jacqueline is the only biological daughter of Rose-Marie Bousquet (the Carrie Louise Serrocold parallel) by her previous marriage. This suggests that Rose-Marie's first husband's name was Cassard. Jacqueline is portrayed as a stern, no-nonsense person who dresses severely. She runs the household and takes charge of domestic matters and constantly bemoans her mother and step-father's tendency to sympathise with hard-luck cases. In this respect she has some of the elements of Juliet Bellever (who does not feature in the adaptation). There is considerable tension between Jacqueline and the Gina parallel Juliette White whom she views as a good-for-nothing wastrel and a flirt. Despite their differences, though, both show genuine affection and concern for their mother.

Jacqueline secretly loves Pierre Montauban. She tried to impress him with her financial skills by investing in the stock market but lost a lot of money. To stop her, Montauban had actually advised her mother not to advance her any more money for her financial ventures. Antonin Lambert, her cousin, said of her uncharitably that she thought she was being clever but in truth, everyone, including Montauban, was laughing at her behind her back. Antonin described her as a "frustrated spinster". This made Alice Avril consider Jacqueline as a prime suspect for the murder of Montauban. She had, after all, shown her affection for Montauban but Montauban had rejected her. Moreover, she was bankrupt because of her unwise investments and stood to gain from her mother's will so she had a motive to poison her.
