How the Light Gets In by Louise Penny
5.0
Beautifully revealed human strength and frailty
When a book grabs both your mind and your heart and pulls you along from beginning to end it is a special experience. Her prose is lovely.
This is the most complex Inspector Gamache story, and my favorite, so far. Gamache is working two mysteries - one is the kind of mystery Three Pines often holds. The other explores the corruption we know is plaguing Gamache from the superior officers in the Sûreté. Penny is able to write human emotions and relationships in a way that captures the reader and gives you the feels of every man. All the while she engages you to think and and solve the mysteries along with the characters.
