I love the backstory in this one. We learn a lot about Gamache’s very early career when he is still working closely with his mentor. The reader also gets more details about the first homicide case Ganache brings Jean-Guy in for. There have been details sprinkled in throughout the series, but this brings it full circle. I LOVE how we are still learning more about the characters, even 18 books in!
•
I also enjoyed the connection to details in previous books. This is very interesting and added complexity to the overall story. There were many twists and turns, and the ambiguity made it fun to try to figure out how things would end up.
•
As with all of Louise Penny’s books, this one explores humanity and human nature. This is something I’ve really enjoyed about throughout the whole series. I cannot wait for her new one at the end of October!
