This is the first Gamache book that has devastated me. It was a knife to the heart from the jump and then continued twisting. Louise (we're on a first-name basis now apparently) knows that if we're reading about Three Pines in order, we're deeply attached to Gamache, and she writes about his pain in a way that is palpable.
As for the Three Pines portion of the story......well. Was there such a backlash to The Brutal Telling that something had to be done to correct it? Inquiring minds want to know. It just seems a tad too tidy to have a course reversal in the very next book. But I'm also not mad about it 😂
And I enjoyed the little historical mystery as well! Even though if the library had been properly catalogued we wouldn't have faced half as much trouble as we did.
