With a killer hiding in Three Pines and Gamache’s own family in some sort of crosshairs, the Chief Inspector will have to choose which is more important, as if there’s even a question! Penny does a masterful job yet again and keeps the reader wanting more in this rollercoaster of a police procedural. Now, with knives sharpened, someone is trying to push Gamache to the edge, using his family and media outlets to smear him. Gamache was one of the few men within the Sûreté who wanted justice, crossing the Blue Line and fingering one of his own superiors. It would seem that the Arnot case-a Superintendent within the Sûreté who was sent to jail for sanctioning murder by a group he was set to protect-is coming back to haunt him. Who could have slipped this woman something to cause her heart to seize during the aforementioned event? While the Chief Inspector pulls out all the stops with his Homicide squad, there are other issues that begin to create problems for Gamache.
When Gamache arrives, he learns that Favreau’s death was not the act of a vengeful spirit, but rather a highly potent-and illegal-drug that has been found in diet pills. It would appear that the higher-ups in the Sûreté du Québec do not always respect that Gamache may wish to spend time with family before their departure back to Europe. The news hits the presses and Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is sent with his team to investigate. However, things seem to get a little too intense and Madeleine Favreau ends up scared to death, literally. When a psychic is brought to town to help connect some of the Three Pines residents with the spirit world, the opportunity to banish the Hadley abode of its haunting nature is too alluring to pass up. Of particular concern is the old Hadley House, where many horrific things have occurred over the years. Some of its residents have sensed it for a long time and have an interest in pushing the spirts away. This is one binge-worthy collection that never seems to let up! During the Easter Season, the community of Three Pines-nestled in the Eastern Townships of Quebec-is full of colour and excitement, but there is also an evil presence. Louise Penny dazzles with yet another novel in the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series.
