Tips and Resources From Your Jean-Luc Bannalec Book Club Friends:

Jean-Luc Bannalec’s Brittany Mysteries follow the cantankerous, Parisian-born, caffeine addicted Commissaire Dupin. The detective is adjusting to his new employment on France’s picturesque Breton coast. Throughout the series he learns that picturesque doesn’t mean idyllic as the small communities by the sea harbour crimes as dangerous and menacing as any found in a big city. What do you enjoy most about Dupin’s adventures? Is it the beautiful scenery described throughout the books? Or perhaps it’s the vivid depiction of Breton cuisine that has got you hooked? There are mysteries to unravel, crepes and cider to enjoy, and lots to discuss. Allons-y!

“To get to know someone, you need to go through seven sacks of salt together. —BRETON SAYING.”

Jean-Luc Bannalec, The Fleur de Sel Murders
Jean Sheridan
“One of my favourite series besides Inspector Gamache and Bruno Chief of Police is the Commissaire Dupin series written by Jean-Luc Bannalec. He’s a French detective solving crimes in Brittany, France. I love learning about the culture and especially the foods in the region. It seems I’m drawn to mysteries that describe delicious foods but thankfully that’s an indulgence without calories!”
