Synopsis

A town on the sea, Concarneau's nickname is Ville Bleue, or the Blue Town. With three harbors at its center, visitors can see enormous ships, sailors, fishermen, and the industry that goes alongside it. Because of its geographical location, Concarneau has shown it's perfectly positioned to protect its inhabitants from enemy attacks.

For this reason and more, including his favorite restaurant, the Amiral, Commissaire Georges Dupin calls this town home. Most of his colleagues are on vacation for the Pentecost long weekend, but Dupin remains. His future in-laws are coming to visit.

But what happens when an enemy attacks from within? Dupin's plans as host must change when the body of Doctor Chaboseau is discovered. Chaboseau fell to his death, pushed from his home above the Amiral. With only two new colleagues to help—no one else is answering their phone—Dupin is tasked with finding out what happened to the doctor.

In all of Commissaire Georges Dupin's time living in Brittany, there has never been a murder on his home turf—until The Body by the Sea.

I like these books so much- and now I really want to visit Brittany. Anyone else ready to go and see the sights and sample the cuisine? These books are so clever and set in modern times, within no old-fashioned romance, but with interesting contemporary sensibilities. I only have one more to read and......more

Goodreads review by alex_and_all_her_books on April 12, 2021

Un roman solide mais qui n'a pas été un coup de cœur. L'enquête en soi est relativement simple et plutôt banale mais j'ai adoré reconnaître des lieux près de chez moi, et en savoir plus sur l'histoire d'Arthur et du Graal. Les personnages sont assez sympa, Dupin en tête. Bref, je ne garderai pas un......more

More deaths in Brittany. While sounding beautiful, this is a place with many murders. Pacy, caffeinated and complex.......more
