Brittany, beach-resort, law-enforcement, murder, murder-investigation, rivalry, situational-humor, relationships***** Oh, ho! Do you want to know all about Bretons and the beauty of Brittany and the pink granite? It's all here. Do you like sly situational humor about two workaholics on a forced vacation at the beach in summer? Got that in spades. And then there are the mysteries, murders, and co-conspirators who want Commissaire Dupin to get involved in these local issues while the local law is adamantly against his *interfering*. Dupin can't just shut off his brain, and he really hates the irritation of sand, but Clare is insistent. His superior back home is also adamant that he keep his nose out of a territory not his own. But. The due diligence is exceptional and uncovers a web of deceit and more. I absolutely loved it and had more than a few good snickers (we workaholics do, indeed, understand each other). I requested and received a free ebook copy from St. Martin's Press/Minotaur Books via NetGalley. Many thanks! Bretonische Ferien und ein perfides Verbrechen Zwischen den rosa Granitfelsen der Côte d‘Armor steht Commissaire Dupin vor einer unlösbaren Aufgabe: Es ist Hochsommer, und er soll Ferien machen. Am Strand liegen, die milde Süße des Lebens auskosten – zwei Wochen lang. Für Dupin eine unerträgliche Vorstellung. Zum Glück, muss man da fast sagen, verschwindet vor seinen Augen eine Frau. Und ein Verbrechen ungeahnten Ausmaßes erschüttert das malerische Örtchen Trégastel. Während Claire die Ruhe zu genießen scheint, nutzt Dupin jede Gelegenheit, das Strandhandtuch zu verlassen. Das fabelhafte Abendessen auf der Terrasse und die Gerüchte über eine geklaute Heiligenstatue gehören zu den wenigen spannenden Momenten seiner Tage. Doch dann verschwindet eine Frau vor den Augen der Hotelgäste spurlos und es wird ein Anschlag auf eine Abgeordnete verübt, die im Clinch mit den Landwirten liegt. Wenig später erschüttert der Fund einer Leiche den Küstenort. Heimlich nimmt Dupin mithilfe der Dorfbewohner die Ermittlungen auf, schließlich dürfen Claire und seine Kollegen aus Concarneau nichts mitbekommen, sie haben ihm strengste Erholung verordnet. Zwischen verwunschenen Tälern, traumhaften Stränden und einer leuchtend bizarren Felslandschaft entwickelt sich ein abgründiger Fall.

"In The Granite Coast Murders, the sixth installment of Jean-Luc Bannalec's bestselling 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"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Well a lucky happenstance had me wandering into the world of Commissaire Georges Dupin! Forced to take holidays, Dupin and his girlfriend, chief cardiologist Claire Lannoy, travel to the Côte de Granit Rose on the coast of northern Brittany. This is supposedly purely a holiday—no work. A sentence to madness and more for Dupin. Working is not to be entertained, so imagine workaholic Dupin’s glee when he finds himself smack bang in the middle of a murder, a disappearance, possible illegal mining and more.
It’s wonderful to watch Dupin investigating without letting Claire know—and the local law enforcement who jealousy guard their provenance.
The food descriptions are sensational. My mouth was watering.
I loved the concentrated focus of Dupin’s train of thought, with leaps of inutuition, complimented by seasoned understanding.
I especially was struck by the geographical description of this part of the world—rose granite formations that could become maze like, threatening at times. Sounds fabulous!
A super enjoyable mystery!
