The Long Way Home by Louise Penny

3.0

I've enjoyed most of the Gamache series as light mysteries in a bucolic setting, but this one is disappointing. While it's fun to follow favorite characters, the plot in this story - the whodunnit part - is just not believable. Too fantastic and unlikely to make sense. I also think Penny's writing was not as interesting as usual. I found myself getting bored, and irritated at banal or obvious statements. I also don't need to have the clues restated for me every 25 pages.

Still, because I like the characters, I gave it 3 stars.
