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.

Series fans will enjoy seeing Dupin' s relationship with Claire deepen. Armchair travelers and gourmands alike will appreciate visiting this region of Brittany. --Publishers Weekly The huge, variegated pink granite formations surrounding a beach resort in northern Brittany provide haunting atmosphere and a gripping climax to this sixth Brittany mystery starring Georges Dupin. The plot ticks along nicely, aided and abetted by Bannalec' s tantalizing descriptions of Dupin and Claire' s sightseeing and feasting. Bannalec' s mysteries are both well crafted and impossible to read without wanting to use them as guides for future trips to the region. --Booklist (starred review) Praise for the series: Delicious Brittany mysteries. . .
