Welcome to Litsy!

I was as able to figure out who the murderer was before the end so it is not the greatest as a mystery but this is really a different type of cozy mystery. Inspector Dupin and Brittany and its eccentric characters and beautiful countryside are the real point of the book. Loved it and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series

Listening to a murder mystery by Jean-Luc Brannalec set in the Breton coast. It is the first book in a series,and it is making me want to visit the north of 🇫🇷!!

When I started reading this book, the name Dupin rang a bell... Then I remembered having started on mhzchoice a German TV series called Dupin, which is based on these books.
I wasn't seduced by the story, nor by the commissaire. The only things that I enjoyed in the plot were the art references. I probably won't be reading any other book in this series. I'll go on with the TV series, less time consuming, and a great way to practice my German.

The first book in Commisaire Dupin mystery series. Set in the wild and beautiful province of Brittany, the descriptions in the book are evocative. I enjoyed Dupin, who is quite different from Bruno , chief of police of St. Denis in southern France. A different but interesting character. Dupin is called to investigate the murder of the 91 year old hotelier in Aven. His hotel was the hub of the artist Gauguin and others in the 1880s. ⬇️

My next book @kspenmoll ! I'm excited to read another series set in France!

It was ok.

The power is out with no estimated time of restoration so I can‘t wash the new floors (the storm has made it too dark to see well) so I‘ll sit by the one window giving enough light to read by and dig into this one!

##LetsTravelAugust #fair
“The Festival des Filets Bleus was a highly emotional affair for the Carcarnese.It was clearly the most important festival in the village, but it was also a shining symbol. The Concarnese were celebrating themselves: their ability to overcome the worst of times snd their ability to overcome hardships together.”
Now that Dupont solved the murders, this Breton festival or fair will not be shadowed by fear.

This mystery is marvelous on so many levels- the “cantankerous”Commissaire Dupin, who walks forests,seeks rivers,marvels at the Breton sea,meditatively seeking illumination about the case.The sensory descriptions make one viscerally see, feel,& smell nature.A Gauguin painting from the time of the Pont-Aven School painters successfully blend art,murder,& mayhem into 5⭐️ read.
