Each book of the series, for me, gets better. A series about people and place. In this book, set in summer, I love the choice of Louise Penny choosing an isolated location that provided focus on characters. We learned more about Gamache and his personal history and furthered our understanding of his family (and I love his relationship with Reine-Marie).

Beauvoir becomes more interesting in this book.

Lastly, this book provided some history regarding Peter; given what we knew about him in the first three books.

I tandem read the physical book with the audio - Ralph Cosham is Gamache!
