Mid afternoon cappuccino & a book. I go back to work tomorrow so this is my last hurrah!

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC Gamache finds a murderer in a place where murder never happens. A monastery; a vow of silence; beautiful ancient chants, and a killer. As usual the author adds more mystery in Gamache‘s life also. Jean Guy struggles with strange feelings. A novel worth your time.

Everything borrowed has to be returned.

Well, everything‘s more vivid when you‘re young. Then again, you snatch at any feeling at all, when you‘re old, even the aching of hunger, as a sign that you‘re not dead yet.

Once childhood is over, don‘t the years pass too fast already, rolling over a man as fast as waves?

The sea is ours.

I was just so bored by this one! 😳 I needed the Three Pines characters. Did read the last couple chapters so I'd know what's going on heading into the next book.

3/5⭐️ I enjoyed the adventure of this trio, appreciated reading their hardships. Artt really started getting on my nerves and what turned at the end was sort of out of left field.
