I’ve never read a mystery series before, and what I’m enjoying the most is the arc of the recurring characters. Nice twists and turns. The central murder mystery was just okay for me, but the ongoing development of Gamache and his crew is fun.

Multiple long car rides set the stage to listen to Gamache #3 as an audiobook. It started off a bit weird and confusing but got much better once Gamache and crew enter the story. The moral challenges and nuances Gamache faces are so interesting and I think they are the most compelling parts of these mysteries. Three murders in Three Pines seems like a stretch considering how small of a town it is - I am happy to see the next book moves to a new location.

Again, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache led me to another great mystery...or is this case, two mysteries. One, concerning the death of a well liked Three Pines resident who dies of "fright" during a seance, and two, one more close to home and the continued storyline disgraced Arnot.
The continued use of the old Hadley home where the first murder Gamache investigated at Three Pines and again when another Hadley resident is murdered. It's cursed feel reminded me of the old Bates home of the Psycho movie. Once again we are thrown into a strange murder mystery where there are so many potential murders it felt like a great Hercule Poirot mystery.

I really liked this one. I didn’t figure out who the murderer was at all.
