The Cruelest Month
by Louise Penny
Louise Penny's third Chief Inspector Armand Gamache novel is an intriguing mystery set in Three Pines, Quebec, during Easter. The story follows Gamache as he investigates the death of a woman who attended a séance. The novel balances police procedural with character development. Gamache's complexities and his interactions with the quirky residents of Three Pines were my favorite parts of this read.
The Canadian setting is atmospheric and well incorporated into the story. However, the mystery plotting could have been stronger, with a more balance between storytelling and action.
Despite a few flaws, this is definitely a solid, cozy mystery.
