pickPAST & PRESENT
Inspector Gamache struggles with three investigations-one from the past causing emotions to run rampant.
In the present, all his skills are required to correct mistakes made.
This novel by Penny is the best so far. Acclaim for her bringing these marvelous investigations together.
She makes the reader glad and sad.

pickCHAOS
A Gamache murder investigation filled with confusion, disbelief and utter turmoil. Penny swerves the reader this way and that as Gamache finds clues in several very strange places.
The ending is surprising and sad until the reader realizes it is a cliffhanger!
pickDYSFUNCTIONAL DEATH
A family that dislikes each other comes together for a reunion.
Gamache must sort all of this out when
a weird death occurs.
Find time to read and attempt to solve this mystery. Bet you can‘t!!
Back in Quebec with Inspector Gamache. Strange murder in a beautiful setting.
I read a bit more about the author‘s life so the second book feels more intimate.
Absolutely love the colours on the cover and no library bar code in the front as usual!! 💜
pickTWO FOR ONE—
Penny gives us a mysterious death caused by the occult AND The Gamache take down by his best friend—
Both full of regrets and the time no one wins.
pick(2010) Sixth in the Three Pines/Inspector Gamache series of mysteries. I'd been putting this one off because vol. 5 (The Brutal Telling) pissed me off (IYKYK) so I was mollified that BYD follows up on threads that TBT left dangling. It seems a little busy with what felt to me like one subplot too many, but the mystery(ies) is(are) fine, the character development is appealing, and I will read another. This was an ear-read for a long drive.
so-so3/5
It's quite a hard book to define. The narrator is from Montreal, and every summer she goes to the Inuit in the North to take care of kids. Through vignettes, we discover the roughness of life there: the violence of nature, but also the violence of men.
Why so-so? The first part is all over the place, the second part has actually a plot. Perhaps too many subjects into one book?
