Number 13 of the Inspector Gamache series did not disappoint. As always, Penny does a great job of weaving historical facts together with her fictional tales. The main characters are still the main draw for me. Over time they have become like real people to me.
It took me.longer than usual to get through this one. This is not a reflection on the book, but rather on how busy life is. Mysteries are best consumed in short order, so I felt a little disconnected from this tale.
