 So many murders for such a quaint, peaceful village. I forget if it's ever mentioned, but it feels like the town has a population of 20 people max. And I only know who the first 10 are- I've just doubled it to be generous.

I didn't see this one coming. Not that I've predicted a Louise Penny so far, but still. I can't even elaborate because spoilers. I'm just a little stunned and I don't know if in a good or a bad way. Is that it? Is this an arc?

What's up with the weird race references though? 2009 wasn't that long ago.
