Publisher's Summary

Read by the series reader Adam Sims.

The entrancing crime thriller featuring Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, from number one New York Times best-selling author Louise Penny.

When Armand Gamache receives a letter inviting him to an abandoned farmhouse outside of Three Pines, the former head of the Sûreté du Québec discovers that a complete stranger has named him as an executor of her will. The bequests are so wildly unlikely that he suspects the woman must have been delusional - until a body is found.

But it isn't the only menace Gamache is facing. The investigation into the events that led to his suspension delves deeper, and he takes increasingly desperate measures to rectify previous actions. As he does, Gamache begins to see his own blind spots - and the terrible things hiding there....

Opposing descriptions were annoying

The repetition of opposing descriptions was annoying - everything is ‘hot, yet cold’. Strong, yet fragile. Funny, yet with sadness. Tough, yet soft. You get the drift. Not a style of writing I enjoy.
