“Bannalec’s riveting sequel to 2015’s Death in Brittany…the final twist leaves readers wondering.” —Publishers Weekly
Steeped in the enchanting atmosphere of Brittany and peppered with wry humor, Murder on Brittany Shores: A Mystery is
a superbly plotted mystery that marks the return of Jean-Luc Bannalec's
international bestselling series starring the cantankerous,
coffee-swigging Commissaire Dupin.
Ten miles off the coast of
Brittany lie the fabled Glénan Islands. Boasting sparkling white sands
and crystal-clear waters, they seem perfectly idyllic, until one day in
May, three bodies wash up on shore. At first glance the deaths appear
accidental, but as the identities of the victims come to light,
Commissaire Dupin is pulled back into action for a case of what seems to
be cold-blooded murder.
Ever viewed as an outsider in a region
full of myths and traditions, Dupin finds himself drawn deep into the
history of the land. To get to the bottom of the case, he must tangle
with treasure hunters, militant marine biologists, and dangerous divers.
The investigation leads him further into the perilous, beautiful world
of Glénan, as he discovers that there's more to the picturesque islands
than meets the eye.
