- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5thriller, suspense, international-crime-and-mystery, procedural, law-enforcement, maritime, Brittany France*****Let's start with: I really enjoyed the book, I have no idea whether the translation was good or bad, and this is the audio (which saved me from feeble pronunciations) so I have been spared any typos.The due diligence in this case is both well done and beyond the call. Out in the archipelago of Brittany the weather is surprising at the best of times, but when major storms roll in it is impossible (just like mobile or marine radio reception). The case begins with three corpses that have been in the water and progressed on to greed, fraud, and more. I loved it!Jean Brassard is the narrator who not only sounds like he is Commissaire Dupin but does a great job with all of the characters.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The descriptions of the Glenan, the physical environment, are wonderful. The cast of characters is also interesting. I can believe these are the kind of people who live on these unusual islands. But the pace was very slow. Nearly every action, every thought that Dupin had or could conceivably had was recorded here. Some of Dupin's observations and reactions to people got a bit tedious.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I love Brittany and loved the descriptions of the islands, the sea, the sky and the life there. Mystery was ok, but they kept throwing new characters/suspects/victims in the last few chapters and I found that disconcerting. I do like the grumpy Dupin with his addiction to caffeine, however. Also, the print setting is the book edition I had was annoyingly incompetent, with lots of run together words and practically no chapter breaks. Grrrr.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Commissaire Dupin, although not Breton, has spent many years as the Commissaire.... He is called to investigate what appears to be the accidental drowning by misadventure during a storm of 3 men, whose corpses have washed up on a near by island.When the last traces of barbiturates are found in two of the bodies is detected the Commissaire finds himself investigating a murder.At first there are suspicions of discontent within the town about shady business dealings, which eventually prove true, but those are the just the tip of the Iles de Glenan.The characters were not particularly engaging, the dead men were merely props & never seemed to have been real people, the procedural was long & drawn-out w/ an over abundance of unnecessary lengthy descriptions, which I, of course, skipped over.The end was a surprise.... and the murdered men got their just desserts.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Der zweite Fall für Komissar Dupin. Wieder ein sehr gelungener Krimi aus der Bretagne. Diesmal spielt er auf den Glénan-Inseln, einem kleinen Archipel etwa zehn Seemeilen vom Festland entfernt. In dieser sehr eigenen Welt, die viel mehr Ozean als Land ist, mit ihren speziellen Menschen und deren vom Meer geprägter Lebensart, ereignet sich ein Dreifachmord. Oder war es doch ein Unfall?Komissar Dupin hat alle Hände voll damit zu tun, diesen Fall aufzuklären, bei dem so ziemlich jede Person, mit der er spricht, ein Motiv zu haben scheint…
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received a copy of this novel from NetGalley to read and review. Up front, let me say this is a well written, fairly interesting book, though it has one formatting quirk I found interesting and sometime difficult to take. In book that is close to 400 pages, there are only three chapters. Since I am used to pacing my reading stops and starts using chapters, I found this book with only three chapters very different. I stopped whenever I had to, but without the regular chapter breaks I usually find, this was more of a challenge. The main character, Commissaire Dupin, who has somehow ended up in this remote region of France, also can be a bit much to take at times. He is a caffeine addict, always looking for the next cup. He often comes across as distracted/disinterested and arrogant, totally against not being in control of every minute, every event, every interrogation, etc. of the crime investigation he is conducting in the somewhat remote fabled Glénan Islands, located off the coast of Brittany, in the northwest of France. The book was not originally written in English, but the translation is superb and reads very smoothly—sometimes that may not occur in a translation. The author provides a fantastic description of the area and the people, showing wonderful insights into the culture, the mindset, the small town interactions, etc. of these unique Frenchmen, who are not like other Frenchmen we read about/encounter elsewhere. However, there may be some strange customs or ideas, but these Frenchmen come across as regular, ordinary people who just happen to live in a somewhat remote area. The basic plot involves the investigation of three murders by Commissaire Dupin and his team. As the story unfolds, the author provides a myriad of twists and turns to keep the reader engaged and interested in the tale. I found myself unable to put the book down for long periods of time because it was so gripping—despite being a bit long and wordy at times and with few chapter breaks. Commissaire Dupin and his team move through the investigation with precision and thoroughness that definitely allows the reader to follow along completely, even if the reader is not a trained investigator. No steps are missed. Commissaire Dupin and his team leave no stones unturned. This is a great book for anyone unfamiliar with the area and ready to take a voyage there, while reading an interesting murder mystery. It also will appeal to a reader who enjoys the nitty gritty of investigative work. Finally, it will appeal to someone looking for a murder mystery that is a bit different from the usual.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wer sich auf seinen nächsten Bretagne-Urlaub einstimmen möchte und noch auf der Suche nach Ausflugszielen ist, sollte mal nach diesem Buch greifen. Zwar wird es als Krimi angeboten, doch immer wieder trat dieser angesichts der wirklich wunderschönen Beschreibungen der Glénan-Inseln für mich etwas ins Abseits.
Protagonist ist der bereits vor längerer Zeit aus Paris ins Finistère versetzte Kommissar Dupin, der noch vor Beendigung seines Frühstücks mit dem Fund dreier Leichen konfrontiert wird. Diese wurden an den Strand einer der vielen unbewohnten Inseln des Glénan-Archipels angespült, sodass sich Dupin widerwillig auf ein Boot begeben muss, um den Fundort in Augenschein zu nehmen. Was sich zu Beginn wie ein Unglücksfall ausnimmt, erweist sich jedoch nach den ersten Untersuchungen als ein Dreifachmord - mit mehr Spuren und Verdächtigen als es dem Kommissar lieb ist.
Wie schon zu Beginn angedeutet: Zeitweise wirkte der durchaus passable Krimi im Vergleich zu den geschilderten Landschaftsbeschreibungen fast wie eine Nebenhandlung - äußerst detailreich und mit viel Liebe zu dieser Gegend berichtet der unter Pseudonym schreibende Autor von Land (in diesem Fall Inseln) und Leuten. Mein Rat: Wer vorrangig einen Krimi sucht, sollte sich lieber eine andere Lektüre wählen. Alle Anderen erwartet eine unterhaltsame spannende und immer wieder auch amüsante Geschichte mit jeder Menge Informationen zu den Glénan-Inseln, die neugierig machen. Ich habe mich auf jeden Fall schon mal weiter informiert...
