A great reread, just going to miss Ralph Cosham's voice when he finishes up his service to the character.

I care so much about Jean Guy’s character. I left this book feeling so stressed about him and his anxiety about Gamache. Dude needs therapy, a hug, and treatment. I really want him to end up with Annie, but not if he is this kind of mess.

Louise Penny never disappoints me! Another great book. After a book I struggled to finish, it was a relief to return to Three Pines!
