Esther (Albert Major parlait trop)

In Albert Major parlait trop, the French Télévisions film adaptation of Agatha Christie's A Caribbean Mystery, Esther is the parallel of the character Esther Walters in the original novel. She is the secretary of the wealthy man Raymond Rafil who is a patient at the "Hôpital St Paul" in which most of the action takes place. Like her employer, Esther also lives at the hospital.

The portrayal of Esther in this adaptation is close to that in the novel and in the other adaptations. Rafil had made a will leaving his estate to her although she did not know about it. She was aware that Paul Courelle, the Tim Kendall parallel, was interested in her, but did not think much of this since she knew Paul was married. She was therefore entirely non-complicit in Paul's efforts to kill his wife. She does protest to commissaire Laurence that he must have arrested the wrong man, because Paul Courelle was a nice person who was devoted to his wife. But she is soon put right as to the facts by Laurence.

Esther is portrayed by Laure Josnin.
