Grey Wolf | Louise Penny

so-so

The third audio narrator of the series is introduced with this installment. I liked the previous two, this one not so much because the voices aren‘t as distinct. The pronounced French accent meant distinguishing among the several French names was difficult to track, but that‘s no fault of the narrator.

This story sprawls across many locations and characters, and as a result there was too much explanation of connections rather than showing.

Tamra Jean-Guy is getting to be rather a predictable mono-dimensional character - all rough arrogant impatience. 2d

Susanita I‘ve never liked Jean-Guy! He‘s so annoying. 2d

Tamra @Susanita I suspect he is supposed to highlight the mature wisdom of Gamache, but it‘s getting stale. Too pat now. 2d

Whyyyyy did it take me so long to read this? I blame the holiday blues. I‘ll admit that I got a little angry at the ending, because it felt unfinished and just not “right” somehow. Then I realized that Louise just threw a cliffhanger in there 😂 I‘m so confused 😂 #readyourkindle

Bookwormjillk Oh you‘re at the best part of the series 2mo

PuddleJumper I'm so behind on this series. I really enjoy them but they make me use my brain 🤣 2mo

My favorite in the series so far, and Three Pines was barely in it! Chief inspector Gamache and his wife are celebrating their anniversary at Manoir Bellechasse, just over the mountain range from Three Pines. Yearly visitors, this visit coincides with the Morrow family reunion, including the Gamache‘s friends from Three Pines, Peter and Clara. The last book hinted at Peter‘s dark side. When a Morrow is killed, is Peter to blame or another ⬇️

Texreader wretched Morrow? Or does the manoir‘s staff have something to hide? An impossible crime to pull off; only the most observant and detail-oriented investigator can pull this one off. And Gamache does so again. The author does struggle in explaining the complexity of the murder but kudos to her for not taking the easy route and giving us an extraordinarily complex murder mystery. #foodandlit #Canada @Catsandbooks #serieslove @TheSpineView ⬇️ 3mo
