In The Fleur de Sel Murders a local journalist is murdered after she stumbles upon some mysterious goings-on in the salt basins where salt has been commercially produced for centuries. There is another murder before Dupin and his colleague capture the perpetrator in a suspenseful conclusion. This is yet another installment in the enjoyable Inspector Dupin mysteries, set in Brittany. I love the travelogue aspect of these books and if anything, it has made me want to travel to Brittany and discover some of its natural beauty and proud culture. Interesting to note that the writer is actually a German named J รถ rg Bong, and the series is immensely popular in his native country.
