A Great Reckoning by Louise Penny

5.0

Another fantastic Inspector Gamache mystery. Coming out of retirement to head the Sûreté Academy and to mold and inspire the future of the Sûreté du Quebec, Gamache finds himself in the middle of another murder, with himself as a suspect. Gamache's history has certainly led to having many enemies, but when one ends up murdered and Gamache acts out of character, what's the deal?

Again Ms. Penny takes us through twists and turns. Just when I thought I knew who the murderer was, the murderer acted and sounded so innocently, I truly believed it couldn't have been him/her. And then...it was!

The mysterious and angry Amelia, a new cadet at the Sûreté Academy made me wonder if she was an inside plant by Gamache's enemy or just an angry young woman. Her storyline and how it locks within Gamache's past was a perfect twist.

I only have one more to go before there are no more in the series (yet....). Hope Ms. Penny is busy writing #14 in the series!
