My favourite Inspector Gamache book so far (I know I have a lot to go). Inspector Gamache's own past comes to haunt him in a big way in this book, and I like how his story relates to the mystery he came to Three Pines to solve. Atmospheric, intriguing Can't wait to read more - the question is whether to rush right on to the next one or to pace myself!
