Complicated
My favorite in the series so far, and Three Pines was barely in it! Chief inspector Gamache and his wife are celebrating their anniversary at Manoir Bellechasse, just over the mountain range from Three Pines. Yearly visitors, this visit coincides with the Morrow family reunion, including the Gamache’s friends from Three Pines, Peter and Clara. The last book hinted at Peter’s dark side. When a Morrow is killed, is Peter to blame or another wretched Morrow? Or does the manoir’s staff have something to hide? An impossible crime to pull off; only the most observant and detail-oriented investigator can pull this one off. And Gamache does so again. The author does struggle in explaining the complexity of the murder but kudos to her for not taking the easy route and giving us an extraordinarily complex murder mystery.
