About this listen

 'SUPERB' WILL DEAN
'Highly entertaining' THE TIMES
'Subtle, compelling storytelling at its elegant best' DAILY MAIL

Relentless phone calls interrupt the peace of a warm August morning in the small village of Three Pines in Quebec. Someone has managed to track down Armand Gamache, head of homicide, as he sits with his wife in their back garden. When he finally answers the call, his rage shatters the calm of their quiet Sunday morning.

That's only the first in a sequence of strange events that begin THE GREY WOLF. At first they seem small - a missing coat, a note for Gamache reading "this might interest you", a puzzling scrap of paper with a mysterious list - but then a murder. All propel Chief Inspector Gamache and his team toward a terrible realization. Something much more sinister than any one murder or any one case is fast approaching. A threat unlike anything they've seen before.

The narration of all the Gamache books is riveting it’s Adam Sims has made the characters very real.

The potential for domestic terror & the machinations of menace!

I thoroughly enjoyed this latest installment of the Inspector Gamache series, and as always, Adam Sims' narration is superb. (I have found lots of amazing authors just by searching for what's read by Adam!) I had read a couple of reviews prior to listening to the story, and I wish I hadn't. This book definitely sets up for installment 20, but the scope of the plot is such that this was always going to be the case. A great story, with many references to previous plot lines. A great read and would highly recommend.

So glad Gamache is back!
