Tell No One
Tell No One is the cryptic sign off attached to an email to Alex Beck (François Cluzet) a French paediatrician who would even give a thug the benefit of the doubt if his child was in need (this pays off big time later). Also attached is what appears to be grainy security camera video of his wife Margot (Marie-Josée Croze) entering an underground station. He’s shocked and incredulous because Margot was the victim of a vicious murder eight years previous. While he becomes convinced that she’s somehow miraculously alive the police believe that current events warrant re-opening the case and the good baby doctor is their prime murder suspect. The plot keeps you guessing as the mix of characters gets thicker to include Alex’s father, his father in law, his wife’s best friend and a titled politician whose son has a misguided sense of entitlement. As Alex closes in on the truth about Margot les gendarmes are closing in on him not to mention a small but cold blooded and efficient group of assassins. Tell No One is a pretty good whodunit that makes it easy to see why the Harlan Coben novel of the same name is such and international best seller.
