Le loup gris

4.0 AVERAGE


Found this one very confusing, even after just re-reading the entire series again right before picking this one up. Confusing even when I read on audio and in text to make sure I want missing anything.

Creaky, dull, abandoned. So sorry.

The town of Three Pines, Gamache, and his crew are always a welcome place to come back to. Always appreciate Gamache's quiet wisdom and leadership. This one ends on a cliffhanger!

I didn't think it was that bad.

This is my first time with a Louise Penny. I didn't realize it was a series until I was in it. So, shame on me for jumping in with Book 19. But I didn't like this book. I couldn't follow the plot. We're in the monestary, now we're not, now we're in a different monestary. Oops, someone died. Everyone's names sounded the same. I think the book is left on a cliff hanger, but I simply do not care about this universe enough to even wonder.

Way too slow
