About this product

Product Information

Commissaire Dupin is back i n The Fleur de Sel Murders , this Brittany mystery from international bestselling author Jean-Luc Bannalec. The old salt farmers have always said that the violet scent of the Fleur de Sel at harvest time on the salt marshes of the Gu rande Peninsula has been known to cause hallucinations. Commissaire Dupin also starts to believe this when he's attacked out of the blue in the salt works. He had actually been looking forward to escaping his endless paperwork and taking a trip to the "white country" between the raging Atlantic Ocean and idyllic rivers. But when he starts snooping around mysterious barrels on behalf of Lilou Breval, a journalist friend, he finds himself unexpectedly under attack. The offender remains a mystery, and a short time later, Breval disappears without a trace. It is thanks to his secretary Nolwenn and the ambition of the prefect that Dupin is assigned to the case. But he won't be working alone because Sylvaine Rose is the investigator responsible for the department--and she lives up to her name... What's going on in the salt works? Dupin and Rose search feverishly for clues and stumble upon false alibis, massive conflicts of interest, personal feuds--and ancient Breton legends.

Reviews
Praise for the series:"A charming first mystery." - New York Times Book Review "Roll over Maigret. Commissaire Dupin has arrived." -M.C. Beaton "Francophiles and art lovers will welcome Bannalec's good old-fashioned detective story set in Brittany... Bannalec excels at plotting and pacing, as well as vivid descriptions of the Finistre countryside." - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "Very satisfying...along the lines of Martin Walker's novels set in Dordogne, or M.L. Longworth's Aix-en-Provence mysteries." - Booklist, "Bannelec's Breton adventures are some of the best French local color going, with a deft blend of puzzle, personality, and description of the indescribable."-- Kirkus Reviews "Intriguing...Well-drawn, complex characters, the lovingly described countryside, and the area's culinary bounty make this a winner. Some fans will be inspired to take their next vacation in Brittany."-- Publishers Weekly " The Commissaire comes across as a likeable sleuth of the old school, stubborn about sticking to a clue, perpetually running on caffeine, preferring solo excursions over the collegial system. Dupin is the man on the authentically baffling case, and he's an entirely welcome presence in his lone-wolf and highly caffeinated style." --Toronto Star, "Bannelec's Breton adventures are some of the best French local color going, with a deft blend of puzzle, personality, and description of the indescribable."-- Kirkus Reviews "Intriguing...Well-drawn, complex characters, the lovingly described countryside, and the area's culinary bounty make this a winner. Some fans will be inspired to take their next vacation in Brittany."-- Publishers Weekly, "Bannelec's Breton adventures are some of the best French local color going, with a deft blend of puzzle, personality, and description of the indescribable."-- Kirkus Reviews, "Enchanting."-- The New York Times "Bannelec's Breton adventures are some of the best French local color going, with a deft blend of puzzle, personality, and description of the indescribable."-- Kirkus Reviews "Intriguing...Well-drawn, complex characters, the lovingly described countryside, and the area's culinary bounty make this a winner.
