The pace of this book left me gasping for breath, in the best possible way. I couldn’t put it down. The entire Gamache family is pulled into this thriller in which no one can be trusted … this was a great Gamache book. Less philosophical but a thrilling ride.

Inspector Gamache is an automatic five star for me, sorry not sorry! This series is such a comfort read for me. Though I missed the Three Pines villagers in this installment, the Paris setting was fun and different. The mystery was complex to keep it dynamic, but not so complex you can’t follow along. My favorite element was finally getting to explore Gamache’s relationship with his son. Gamache is so well-loved and respected by just about everyone (except the murderers he catches). But his own son essentially can’t stand him. Digging into those family dynamics is always entertaining to me. I’ll never stop recommending this series!

Another great mystery with all the twists and turns you expect from Louise Penny. Set in Paris, and I missed Three Pines, but I enjoyed the fact that Gamache's family were very much to the fore  - especially that Reine-Marie had a more central role in the investigation than usual.
