Commissaire Dupin is having a summer field with his team in Brocéliande for a few days, but the holiday turns rapidly into a murder investigation as the body of a renowned historian is discovered. Before long, there are more victims and the mystery grows as to why all the Arthurian specialists are being killed.

Commissaire Dupin is a very interesting character, as well as his team members, especially Nolwenn, a talented woman.

The King Arthur Case is a classical mystery and detective story. It is the seventh adventure of Commissaire Dupin in Brittany. Do not be concerned if you did not read the other books. I didn’t either and it did not stop me from plainly enjoying this book. This novel takes place in the forest of Paimpont, better known as Brocéliande. If you are an Arthurian legend lover like me, you will totally enjoy this book. Jean-Luc Bannalec explores in his story every important site linked to the Legend and the Briton lore : Val Sans Retour, Chapelle du Graal, Fontaine de Barenton, Tombeau de Merlin, Château de Comper, where the Centre Arthurien is situated. From having been over there several times myself I found all the descriptions quite accurate and it was pure joy to visit them again in the story.

I was able to discover this book thanks to Goodreads Giveaways. This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the book.
