3.75
The reason it is 3.75 and not 4.0 is that the killer is so obscure that it feels like a last minute implausible "Oh wait, I forgot to wrap up the reason I started the whole book."

This time, though the murder takes place in the village of Three Pines (and it's a child which may be a trigger for some), the surrounding cause is due to events from 30 years ago and weapons development/sales. Very different from the one set in a monastery or the one in Quebec where a historian is killed and we readers learn so much history and background about Quebec. She's a master at that.
Gamache is still in retirement though there are job opportunities being presented - so where will the next book take him? I already have it on hold at the library.
