HOLYMOLY. This is the best one in the series. In fact, if it ended here I would be COMPLETELY satisfied. FIVE STARS. When Ruth gave him Rosa I started sobbing and didn’t stop till it was over. Full disclosure and a mild spoiler- I was going to quit after the last one (beautiful mystery) bc I was so completely DEVASTATED by the ending. But I pulled up the next one after this (long way home) and saw that Jean Guy was back in the picture, so I kept going. And I’m so glad I did!!! These books are BREATHTAKING.

audiobook-I really enjoy narrator Ralph Cosham's voice and inflection. Great conclusion to Beauvoir addiction arc, we all knew Ruth was a lover.
