I did not enjoy the setting or plot of this as much as I've enjoyed all of Louise Penny's other books. I missed all the familiar characters of Three Pines! Despite this, eager for the next book after the huge fallout at the end...

Not my favorite, maybe just a mood mis-match. Key point of the notes I jotted down, "This is not the character study + satisfying puzzle I came here for.  Who convinced all mystery writers and all tv writers that we need a series bad guy arc in order to keep coming back?  I don't, I swear I don't need it."

Another great Inspector Gamache mystery that completely takes place in an isolated monastery and explores the depths of Gamache and Beauvoir, alone in the wilderness. Heartbreaking and beautiful
