thndrstd 's review for:

The Cruellest Month by Louise Penny
4.0

The third Inspector Gamache book finds him embroiled in scandal and back in Three Pines after a beloved resident dies during a seance. Three Pines remains a wonderful destination, a place you want to return to (you completely understand Gamache's wishing to just leave everything behind and retire there). The intrigue and mystery as more details of Gamache's and others' pasts come out is satisfying and the ending is sad and poignant.
