Los crímenes de Saint-Malo

Commissioner Dupin must attend a seminar at the Saint-Malo Police College which aims to promote joint work between the four departments of Brittany. The prospect could not please Dupin less, condemned to spend four days with the prefect. So on Monday, taking advantage of the lunch break, the commissioner goes to the Saint-Servan market to distract himself and buy some cheese. But right there a woman appears with a knife stuck in her heart. This is Blanche Trouin, a successful cook from the region whose restaurant has a Michelin star. The witnesses point to her sister Lucille, also a renowned cook, since apparently there was a huge rivalry between them. Lucille was determined to overcome the success of her sister and accused her of having used a recipe book from her father that she had not had access to. Dupin, who at first thinks that he may be able to use the case to skip the seminar, will instead have to collaborate with the other commissioners to solve it. In The Crimes of Saint-Malo, Commissioner Dupin feasts on Cancale's oysters as he hears stories of privateers, frigates and valuable treasures and tries to solve his latest case.
