Murder On Brittany Shores, Bannalec - B+
Inspector Dupin's coffee is disturbed one morning with the news that there are three bodies on a small uninhabited island, part of a fishing/sailing/diving mecca on a small archipelago off the Breton coast. He and his team set off by boat and helicopter. To all appearances, three men were caught in a storm and drowned. About the time Dupin learns that they were drugged, thus making this a case of pre-meditated, cold blooded murder, he learns that two of the men are wealthy friends of his insufferable boss. Each man had innumerable enemies and were in the same bar the night they died. They could have been poisoned by dozens of folks. In the end, the motive was revenge, and the killer found. This is the second in the series, and so far both books excel at describing Brittany, and making it seem to be an almost magical locale. Superb and enchanting stories.
