Summary

 'Compelling . . . An original voice' PETER JAMES

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

Clara Morrow's husband is missing. When he fails to come home on the first anniversary of their separation, as promised, Clara asks the only person she trusts to try and find him: former Chief Inspector of Homicide, Armand Gamache.

As Gamache journeys further into the case, he is drawn deeper into the tortured mind of Peter Morrow, a man so desperate to recapture his fame as an artist that he would sell his soul. As Gamache gets closer to the truth, he uncovers a deadly trail of jealousy and deceit. Can Gamache bring Peter, and himself, home safely? Or in searching for answers, has he placed himself, and those closest to him, in terrible danger?

Critic Reviews

Louise Penny twists and turns the plot expertly tripping the reader up just at the moment you think you might have solved the mystery
Clever, full of twists and turns . . . wonderfully satisfying
Penny's elegant style is deeply satisfying, while Gamache is contemplative even when under pressure, and remains a man you want to spend time
Subtle, elegant and beautifully written
All stars

I love the characters, and the story lines however, this one (The Long Way Home), seemed to go on and on before they found Peter.
It was a little too far fetched with the way the law shares too much information with the public. A good ending though, so sad, but good.

Too long winded

I absolutely love this series. This story sees Gamache resigned from the police force and living in Three Pines when he is asked to help find a missing friend. What I love most about this series is the way the characters are built on with each book and the fact that the demons from the past are never too far away. I am hoping that there will be another installment, as I want to have these wonderful characters in my life for a bit longer.

Another Wonderful Addition to the Series.

I’m a fan of this series but I didn’t enjoy this one as much! The mystery wasn’t as complex as previous books and at times, I lost interest!

Disappointing

This has the weakest plot and least feasible storyline of all these books. Generally they get richer but this asbestos story is ludicrous.

I read a review of this book before I started it, and it was not overly positive - said there was no real story and there was too much dialogue about art. That being the case, I wondered what I was in for. I needn't have worried - this story is absolutely up to Louise's excellent standard. Is it her typical murder mystery? No. However, the many and varied discussions about art - and how people respond to and create that art - revealed a lot about the characters we know and love. You can have the best plot in the world - but if you don't care about the characters there is no point. And I adore the world of people Louise has created. All I can say is bring on book 11! Footnote - Adam Sims' narration is superb.

Different but great!
