Publisher's summary

Deep sea fishers, dolphin researchers, smugglers, and an island shrouded in myth in the middle of the rough Atlantic ocean: Commissaire Dupin had sworn he would never again investigate on the ocean, but his fifth case takes him offshore, off the west coast of Brittany on a beautifully sunny day in June. He lands on the unique Île de Sein, populated by more rabbits than people, where the hairdresser arrives by boat and which was formerly inhabited by powerful witches and even the devil himself. In front of this impressive backdrop - between the islands of Molene, Ouessant, and the bay of Douarnenez - Dupin and his team follow a puzzling case that pushes them to their very limits.

Narrator

The narrator ruined it. He narrated the last one, too. Hope this does not continue.

Story was very good, but the narrator spoiled it

The narrator was very dry with no French accent. He was able to pronounce the French terms and names, but otherwise, he could have been reading the local news on some channel in Nebraska. The narration took away from my connection with these characters.

Horrible narrator

Halstead is all wrong for this series. The story was interesting especially the legend of Ys. But please find someone else to read these books!

Good story, spoiled by narrator

Unfortunate choice of the reader who seems to be American. The first two books in the series were well read in English by a Frenchman. More fitting for stories set in Brittany.

Tried to read it for the locations, but the writing &/or translation were so painfully bad that I’ll just read histories & guidebooks.
