The Granite Coast Murders

Brittany Mystery Series, Book 6

By: Jean-Luc Bannalec, Peter Millar - translator

Narrated by: Graham Halstead

In The Granite Coast Murders, the sixth installment of Jean-Luc Bannalec's best-selling mystery series, Commissaire Dupin returns to investigate a murder at a gorgeous Brittany beach resort.

Inspector Dupin and Claire are on a two-week vacation, but while Claire seems to enjoy the quiet of the beach, Commissaire Dupin takes every opportunity to leave the beach towel. The fabulous dinners on the hotel patio and the rumors about a stolen statue of a saint are the few interesting moments of his days on vacation. But then a tourist vanishes without trace, and there's an attack on a deputy to the local assembly, who is involved in confrontations with local farmers. Shortly after that, the Britanny beach resort is shocked by the discovery of a corpse.

Dupin clandestinely begins to investigate with the help of the local villagers, something he must keep a secret from Claire and his colleagues in Concarneau. Between bewitched valleys and beautiful beaches, an unfathomable case develops.

Good twist

Another installment of the Brittany series . The Inspector and Claire on vacation with his loathing of beach and sand making him miserable. His drive to solve crimes goes underground and soon he pantomimes vacation while discovering crimes all over the place…but are they connected or not? That is the question!

Not the right narrator

It’s a great story with lots of smarts and humor but a different narrator is needed.
