The Long Way Home by Louise Penny
4.0

I always love re-visiting quaint little Three Pines. The setting is fun, the townspeople are lively, and there's always something interesting going on! Now that Chief Inspector Armand Gamache has "retired" there, it's an even lovelier place to stay.

That being said, THE LONG WAY HOME is not my favorite of the Gamache novels. Still, it tells an intriguing tale that kept me turning pages and surprised me in the end. Penny's books are crime novels, but they're less about murder and mayhem and more about people and their always fascinating psychology. This one leans more heavily toward the latter than other installments, which makes it seem a little slower. Still, I enjoyed this one and will, as always, keep reading this series, which continues to be one of my very favorites.
