Murders Don't Happen on the Island

Alexis Brocas

Laure Buisson (collection dirigée par)

Collection : Terres sombres

Release date : 11/08/2022

Cunning seagulls, a dim-witted policeman, three shambolic forty-somethings who imagine they're Hercule Poirot, a capricious grandmother, grumpy gangsters, unfit-to-eat oysters, a 17th-century English treasure, country houses in mid-winter. Was Stéphane de Kerfol merely the victim of an everyday bicycle accident, or is the Devil in hiding on the Ile de Ré?

Beware of seagulls! Especially the Ile de Ré seagulls: cunning, intelligent, even malevolent, they are capable of joining forces to lift full oyster baskets and drop them in flight to break the shells!
According to Superintendent Colin, it was that and nothing else that caused the death of Stéphane de Kerfol,... Beware of seagulls! Especially the Ile de Ré seagulls: cunning, intelligent, even malevolent, they are capable of joining forces to lift full oyster baskets and drop them in flight to break the shells!
According to Superintendent Colin, it was that and nothing else that caused the death of Stéphane de Kerfol, a drifting history teacher, who was found with his skull smashed in on the bike path between Saint-Martin and La Couarde. Because, as everyone knows, murders don't happen on the island! Stéphane's childhood friends, Fanny, Aymeric and Sébastien, don't believe it. Like him, they have always known Ré, its history, its legends, its paths and trails. It is where they chose to settle together, in their forties, to heal their marital and professional failures. One for all, all for one, Fanny, Aymeric and Sébastien put on their detective's capes, determined to shed light on Stéphane's death. A treasure hunt under the ramparts of Saint-Martin, chases through the oyster beds, encounters with the La Rochelle mafia in the salt marshes of Loix, drones circling over the ruins of the Châteliers abbey, a colony of birds nesting in the bell tower of Ars and a grandmother fuelled by Pineau des Charentes... the Île de Ré is definitely not what it used to be!
