In the middle of all this, a professor is murdered, and Gamache's new job becomes mixed up with his old one as head of homicide. Only this time, he's a suspect as well as an investigator.
And, of course, Three Pines is mixed up in it too. There's a mysterious old map - maybe the only one in existence that actually shows the village - and it may or may not be relevant to the crime.
Some interesting new characters, as well as the well-loved ones from Three Pines, several intertwined stories (how does she do it without it seeming bitty and all over the place?) and some wonderful backstory for Gamache and for Three Pines too. Wonderful.
