These people are so good. They are what we hope to be. But they are also us. So glad to have these books to read when things are falling apart.

These Gamache mysteries are pretty much unparalleled in my world! So good they take me forever to read because I can't miss a word--every word is significant and you don't want to miss one anyway because it is so well written!
This one addresses the drug trafficking epidemic that has led to the drug addiction epidemic. Very timely topic.

Very easy read. The level of writing was a little below what I would expect, but enjoyable

Clear your weekend.
I’m not kidding. You will want to keep turning pages, late into the evening (and early into the morning) as this story unfolds. Then, as you get to the big reveal, you’ll find yourself slowing down because you won’t want it to be over. You won’t want to leave these friends of yours in the village of Three Pines, your family of choice.
I don’t want to give any details of story or plot away, and you can read them elsewhere, if you wish. I just want to commend Ms. Penney for again blending contemporary issues with old world history and fable into a compelling story that intrigues my mind and touches my heart.
Be sure to read the Author’s Note (and be sure to do so after you’ve finished the book), as they, like in her previous book, will further impress with what an extraordinary human Ms. Penney is.
