Louise Penny really knocked it out of the park with this one. Gamache has a really excellent internal conflict that is reflected in his family members, and also in his suspects. Covid is used as a plot point and treated with the gravity it deserves while not being overwhelming to the story. Also I love this cast of characters. So good. Why does she make me want to live in this town where everyone dies???
