There is more to solving a crime than following the clues.
Welcome to Chief Inspector Gamache's world of facts and feelings.

Former Chief Inspector Gamache has been hunting killers his entire career and as the new commander of force, he is given the chance to combat the corruption and brutality that has been rife. But when a former colleague and professor is found murdered, with a mysterious map of the village of Three Pines, Gamache's home, in his possession, Gamache has an even tougher task ahead of him.

When suspicion turns to Gamache himself, and his possible involvement in the crime, the frantic search for answers takes the investigation to Three Pines, where a series of shattering secrets are poised to be revealed ...

Millions of fans worldwide.
One inimitable Chief Inspector Gamache.

After so many books read by the same narrator it was difficult to recognise the characters. I missed the whole québécoise of it.

great story, wrong narrator

These books revolve around Canadian characters in a beautiful Quebec setting. Shame this new book narrated with an English, rather than North American accent. Doesn't capture some of the characters very well. Bring back Adam Simms!

Another great story

Any additional comments?

I was so excited when this, the latest of the series, was published and I put off listening to it as long as I could to savour the anticipation. I was not disappointed. All the regular characters are back, life goes on in Three Pines. This episode answers a few of the ongoing mysteries surrounding this village. Sad In some ways, Three Pines should not ever be fully explained!
The narration by Robert Bathurst was excellent but for me it subtly changed the characterisations I have come to love from Adam Sims, reducing the pleasure of familiarity that for me is so much part of the saga of Three Pines.

I liked it all. Good follow up to the previous novels, but like the others, it will stand alone. A good mystery story and thriller.
