Francesca Rochetti

In Meurtres en solde , the French adaptation of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot's Christmas for Season 2 of the TV series Les Petits Meurtres d'Agatha Christie, Francesca Rochetti is the daughter of Annabelle Rochetti and granddaughter of Simon Krepps. She is the parallel of Pilar Estravados from the original novel. Francesca is portrayed by Dorcas Coppin.

Like Pilar, Francesca had not seen her grandfather for a long time (or perhaps never before). Simon Krepps had driven her mother Annabelle out of the house when he married a foreigner, in this case, an Italian worker and communist named "Rochetti". During the events in the episode we see, like Pilar, that Francesca has come back to the family. In this case, Simon Krepps has given her a job in his Au Bon Temps department store. She moved fast and quickly impressed Simon so that after just fifteen day he is ready to give her the job of marketing manager. This antagonises her uncle Albert Krepps who felt that the marketing responsibility is his.

After the murder of Simon Krepps, Francesca is not seriously considered as a suspect because she had no motive. She claimed that she liked her grandfather and stood to lose out because he was her benefactor. For the rest of her story, see Viviane Vasseur.
