A Rule Against Murder by Louise Penny

5.0

---

I am binge listening my way through the Gamache series and I still cannot believe that it has taken me so long to read a Louise Penny novel.  She is an absolute master at building a storyline and creating characters over the course of multiple books.  That said, I must say that this is the weakest of her books thus far - and I think that it is due to the fact that I miss the residents of Three Pines! A few other reviewers have mentioned that the mystery in this book was a bit weak.  I will concur; however, the true joy of this series is the slow burn of the underlying plot and the way that the author builds her characters and tells their story.  I can't wait to dive into #5!!
