An INCREDIBLY good entry in the Gamache series … this book has lots of payoff for arcs that have been ongoing since Book 1. It was intense and super satisfying!!!

This book fucked me up. All the books leading up to this, really got to me. It was just almost perfect.

The secondary plot, slightly overtook and overshadowed the murder mystery which I wish hadn’t happened. I understand why it had to happen, but the mystery was very much forgotten and rushed in the end. Such an interesting mystery should’ve been more at the forefront. Otherwise, excellent book. I laughed, I cried.
