A hiker is being pursued by... something... in a cave in the woods, and Lauréne is out jogging in the forest when she hears the commotion. Everyone seems to- Cora (her daughter) is at archery lessons and hears it, and Sabine senses something (early foreshadowing that Sabine is connected to whatever lives in the woods). The hiker makes it out but his girlfriend Nathalie is still in the cave somewheres.
Steiner, meanwhile, has his website defaced by graffiti- apparently the work of an environmental group- their symbol is one Cora's been encountering around the town. Our new DA has a conversation with Sabine, and Fire Rescue finds no trace of the missing Nathalie. Cora is researching the symbol and finds Celtic and Norse connections. She also finds out the cave was used for Celtic burials...and finds a reference to Arduinna, an ancient Celtic goddess of woodlands.
Siriani wants to know if Lauréne is in with the Steiners, and a Steiner thug lets on that there really was a Nathalie- or someone- after it appears initially that there was no such girl at all. Lauréne and Teddy Bear go spelunking while Cora discovers that a eco-terror group named The Children of Arduinna are in Villefranche now to fight the Steiners. And... she's being hacked...
Don't wander alone in caves.
So... they're hallucinating. Must be strange gases down there. And Lauréne thinks she finds the missing girl, but they just find a pack... and some clues. It was a con, the missing girl was a grifter and she meets a rather... yucky ending. Hanging with the crows... Later Teddy speculates that the moss or something might be hallucinogenic, and the doc says the land is rebelling or something. Hm... and Sabine tells Lauréne she'll have to choose sides at some point.
Well, this is a book that we can read.
ReplyDeleteWhy would the Celts use caves for burials??
ReplyDeleteMuy interesante , me dejas te con saber que pasara. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with this series but it sounds pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!, thanks for sharing. X
ReplyDeleteI think I need to know more about this series now -- your reviews have me so intigued1
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned Celtic, and now I'm even more intrigued. But somehow can't recall that reference from previous episode recaps... So, does each episode introduce or deal with a specific type of sci-fi / mysterious phenomenon? This is like that show Twilight Zone or Black Mirror in that sense? Either way, looks good!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this series before but now I wanna watch!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely don't wander alone into caves!!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I don't know why but it reminds me of The Walking Dead.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this series, but I probably need to check it out! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI watched this series and really liked it.
ReplyDeleteYou will never catch me in a cave. Alone or otherwise. I'm claustrophobic lol I remember going to one when I lived in upstate NY and almost hyperventilating. There's one out here that Kevin wants me to go to but you need a headlamp because it's pitch dark. No thank you.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen The Descent? I love that movie but it freaks me out. And not because of the monsters.

Very interesting
ReplyDeleteNetflix never shows this to me, shape up netflix!
ReplyDeleteHaven't started with this one yet, need to remind my husband to take a look! It also doesn't show on our Netflix feed. Will search for it though.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend!
I'm intrigued by the Celtic connection!
ReplyDeleteOH now I remember thinking that they were trying to make Cora Katniss bwhahah. I still remember so little of this show and I cannot figure out why. Laurene was in a forest ditch at one point, right? Or am I mixing up my shows? And didn't French Mr Bean find a girlfriend?
ReplyDeletehello, how are you? haven't seen this yet. have a nice day!
