While I really enjoy Louise Penny, this one wasn't my favorite. Everything surrounding the murder and the cobrador was really well done and both intriguing and downright scary. But half of the plot was centered around setting up a trap for the drug cartel and all of that felt a little unnecessary and frankly really unrealistic beyond my suspension of disbelief. That said, I still love Armand Gamache and the team an 1/2 of this book was truly great.

I stayed up WAY too late last night finishing this, and I don't normally do that.

4.25 stars. Another winner by Louise, really enjoyed this one and it feels like the series (hopefully) continues to get better and better. The audio had a lovely interview at the end too.
