Definitely slower the second time through. I think the audio brought the family dynamics out more in a way I enjoyed a lot.

My favorite so far!! The whole sub-plot about the duality of man and Honoré Gamache was SO good
The how is as difficult to guess as the who. Fantastic series.
Solid 3.5. I needed a comfort read and Louise Penny delivered.
This is the 4th book in the Chief Inspector Gamache series. I am growing very attached to these characters. The story telling is very character driven as you work through the puzzle of suspects and motivations. I really like how it shows the suspects through the lens of each member of the team which is always a lesson in the human tendency to make false assumptions and the reality of unconscious bias.
This was the best one since the first one, Still Life. I was truly surprised at the ending!!
I think this is my favorite book from the series so far. As much as I love Three Pines, this book came right when I was starting to think, how many people can be murdered in this town?? And she changed the setting. The setting itself of this lodge deep in the woods and its connection to Canadian and indigenous history was one of the high points, as were the dysfunctional family dynamics. It’s always fascinating to see writing that reveals how much our families shape us and how much our perceptions can dictate our experience.
Okeee dokee, done with these books!
Morrows are terrible people. I’m not buying for one second that Charles morrow was leaving behind love for his children. Give me a break. They are just nasty! Very repetitive and slow moving. The way Penny describes Finney as so ugly, Veronique as soooo big, and Ganache as a giant; it’s too much emphasis on physical appearances.
