Oh Gamache. I decided to start listening to these and I am so happy I did. These are really great mysteries with wonderful characters. I genuinely love the characters of Three Pines and want to live there. There is an over-arching story in the first three books, involving the Arnot case, and I was worried that it would go on for too long but we get a lot of resolution to that storyline in this book. This is only the third book but has been my favorite so far. Very much looking forward to continuing the series.
