Summary

 NOMINATED FOR THE CWA GOLD DAGGER

There is more to solving a crime than following the clues.
Welcome to Chief Inspector Gamache's world of facts and feelings.

As a fierce, unrelenting winter grips Quebec, shadows are closing in on Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. When he receives a message about a mysterious case in Three Pines, he is compelled to investigate - a woman who was once one of the most famous people in the world has vanished.

The investigation gathers momentum and Gamache is drawn into a web of murder, lies and unimaginable corruption at the heart of the city. Facing his most challenging, and personal, case to date, can he save the reputation of the Sûreté, those he holds dear and himself?

For fans of Three Pines mysteries - prepare for an even more engrossing tale where the stakes are higher than ever. As sinister and powerful forces conspire against Gamache, the characters of the alpine village find themselves in the crosshairs. As the Chief Inspector unravels the murder of an obsessively private woman, his closest associates must choose whether or not to side with Gamache in a battle with much broader implications.

Stories within a story. Seamless/fluid movement between stories. I want to live with the villagers in Three Pines. Louise brings characters to life. Visually beautiful. The narrator is perfect. Love these books. I have not listened to the books in order - I am surprised it has not affected my experience of the stories - I remain totally absorbed in each story. Thank you Louise.

Thank you Louise. Perfect. Clever. Riveting. Cannot wait to start the next one.
