During the first third of the audiobook, I was not completely engaged, switching between the trial and the past made it difficult for me to remain focused, and I didn't care much for the new characters. Of course, as the plot built up, I was back to enjoying the mystery as usual. By the end of the book, I almost shed a tear, but it was the author's note that made me cry.

The tension in this one is incredible. It's told to and fro in time, with a court case in the height of summer flashing back to events in a freezing and wet November. The story centres on a murder, but there is so much more at stake, both personally and professionally for Gamache, his family and the whole of Three Pines.
One of my favourites in the series so far (though I love them all).
