So many murders for such a quaint, peaceful village. I forget if it's ever mentioned, but it feels like the town has a population of 20 people max. And I only know who the first 10 are- I've just doubled it to be generous.
I didn't see this one coming. Not that I've predicted a Louise Penny so far, but still. I can't even elaborate because spoilers. I'm just a little stunned and I don't know if in a good or a bad way. Is that it? Is this an arc?
What's up with the weird race references though? 2009 wasn't that long ago.

I wish I could put into words why I think this series is so good. It's more than just the solving of a mystery. It's about relationships, the culture and history of Quebec and Canada, and the reflective mind of Armand Gamache. This particular story will stay with me for a while.
Graphic: Death, Homophobia, Blood, Murder, Gaslighting, and Abandonment
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Racism, Toxic friendship, Alcohol, and Colonisation
