mysterious fast-paced

I think these stories are perfect.  Gamache and Beauvoir and Lacoste must solve another murder in Three pines.  All the characters are there - Clara and Peter, Ruth, Myrna, Gabri and Olivier.  The woman murdered, Madeleine, seems perfect, loved who would want to put out her star??  Gamache's past (the Arnot case) is still a problem.  The murder is solved, part of the Arnot problem is solved, but Clara and Peter leave us with a cliffhanger - will Peter feel joy for Clara's artistic success?  Overall, a very good read!
