This one was not my favorite of the series because we did not get to spend much time in Three Pines with our favorite characters. Based on other's reviews I was expecting it to be terrible. However, I did not hate the plot and found it enjoyable to listen to on my commute.

“How easily humans could adjust to darkness. To dark thoughts and darker deeds. Until, finally, the darkness became normal. And they no longer missed, or looked for, or trusted, the light.”

“The only reason democracy works is that there’s a contract between elected and those electing. A consent to be governed. But that contract is fragile.”

I love some Louise Penny and some Armand Gamache and there really isn't a single one that I don't thoroughly enjoy! But do start at the beginning, because otherwise, you miss so much. Some of these novels are darker than others, and if the tweaks were mine, I'd ask for more Three Pines, more poetry, and more delicious eats and friends by a crackling fire, but that's not to say this one wasn't captivating and electric. All the relationships I've come to love with these characters and their lives were definitely represented. Looking forward to the next one!

I enjoyed this one more than the last few; for one thing, the vast overuse of sentence fragments didn't bother me as much. Maybe there's an editor who got rid of a lot of them. The plot is engaging as always; a little scary, actually, as not so very unbelievable in this current era of greed and power grabbing. The sequel (a true sequel, not just another one in the series) is due out in 2025. I will certainly read it.
