I also loved how casually funny it was. The bear grease thing really had me going for a minute.
Also, Nicole was the most infuriating side character on the planet. The way Gamache kept trying to check her attitude and she kept thinking she was God's gift to the investigation was sending me over the edge.

Since then I’ve watched the Three Pines series on TV and it made the characters come alive for me in a way that usually happens in books. So now I’m reading them again. This time I started with the second in the series, then backtracked to the first.
I definitely enjoyed it a lot more this time. I found the quirkiness of the characters appealing rather than annoying and cliched. I had only a vague memory of the plot so it all seemed fresh to me. I have come to love the village of Three Pines and look forward to reading more.
