I said the last book broke me a bit. This one finished the process. While I can’t believe it took me so long to discover this series, I’m so happy that there are so many for me to binge read! ( ) The Inspector goes to Quebec to recover from the grief and injuries from a shocking terrorist attack against both the department and potentially millions of people. Very intricate plot detailing the actions of both Gamache and his agents as well as the arrogant and foolish decisions of his supervisor which cost lives. At the same time, another murder is under investigation in Quebec. The double story, laid on top of each other, is intriguing and slowly unfolds. L. Penny is a genius. Book 6-Excellent story.

Bring on the awards. (2010) Gamache is back to wrap up the mystery from his last book. He had caught who he thought had killed the Hermit, but something still nags. Why did Olivier move the body. He sends Beauvoir, his 2nd in command to figure it out. Beauvoir does in Gamache style by finding that Old Mundin had killed the man he thought had killed his father years ago. In a final irony, Mundin does not kill that person but instead his father who had faked his death. Wrapped up with this story is one about the amateur archeologist murdered while trying to find remains of Champlain, the founder of Quebec City. Also, thrown in is a terrorist plot that Gamache thwarts but at the cost of one of his men plus others as he rushes to find the answer.

An obsessive historian's quest for the remains of the founder of Quebec, Samuel de Champlain, ends in murder. Could a secret buried with Champlain for nearly 400 years be so dreadful that someone would kill to protect it? Although he is supposed to be on leave, Chief Inspector Gamache cannot walk away from a crime that threatens to ignite long-smoldering tensions between the English and the French. Meanwhile, he is receiving disquieting letters from the village of Three Pines, where beloved Bistro owner Olivier was recently convicted of murder. No library descriptions found. |
