![]() That’s just my opinion of The King Arthur Case. I felt as if I was dragged through scholarly discussions for twenty-four months. The story may have taken place over twenty-four hours. ![]() ![]() I didn’t trust or like any of the scholars involved in the investigation. Frankly, Dupin and his small team, along with Dupin’s partner, were the only characters I found likable. It was too descriptive of the Brittany forest, and way too involved when it came to the stories behind King Arthur. While their lack of assistance and answers drives Dupin mad, he’s determined to discover if it’s a quest for fame or ego or competition that is driving the murderer. The victims are all Arthurian experts attending a conference. And, Dupin’s two inspectors disappear that night. In the span of twenty-four hours, three people are murdered, maybe four. But, before Dupin can even get his team organized, another body is found. On order of the minister of the interior, Dupin is in charge of the case, given the authority of a special investigator. Dupin’s short errand turns the next twenty-four hours upside down when he finds Cadiou dead, shot to death. But, Dupin has one errand on the overnight trip, an interview with a leading Arthurian expert, Fabian Cadiou, as a favor to a Parisian police officer working on a case. Commissaire Georges Dupin and his small team, two inspectors and his indispensable assistant, Nolwenn, were visiting Foret de Broceliande, a forest filled with myths about King Arthur, along with the Valley of No Return. It was only supposed to be an office trip with one interview.
