FOUR KINDS of SECRETS-Plain-Weak-Appealing-Mythical, that come together to help Gamache investigate a mysterious death.

This novel is character heavy,however, all help in interesting ways and all add to the investigation.

Be prepared-each time you think you have this solved-you are wrong!

Texreader Great review Mom! 2w

Previously, in The Brutal Telling, Three Pines‘ beloved Olivier was accused of murder. Bury Your Dead wraps up his storyline and introduces two new storylines. In the time between Chief Inspector Gamache‘s last visit to Three Pines and this book, the chief and his team are pulled into a very scary plot involving the kidnapping of a police officer. In this book, he and Jean-Guy Beauvoir relive the event that has left them both with terrible ⬇️

Texreader physical and emotional scars. They replay the events as they try to recover from it. During the Chief‘s attempt at recovery staying in Quebec City, he‘s pulled into helping local authorities investigate a murder. This murder mystery is hands-down one of the best because it involves the founding of Canada, missing books, and a long walk through history. Meanwhile, Beauvoir tries to improve his own health in Three Pines while following up on ⬇️ 2w
Texreader orders from the Chief to continue to look into the murder that occurred in the previous book, The Brutal Telling. These multiple storylines are told brilliantly and have the reader on pins and needles throughout the book. If you are not endeared with the characters yet, this one may do it for you. #serieslove @thespineview @Andrew65 2w

I absolutely adored this gentle, beautiful book. An older man has a travelling library that tours through rural and northern Quebec. After meeting a travelling troupe of performers from France, they join him on his journey. This is a story of loneliness and the love of books (and cats!) and opening oneself to companionship in later life. Absolutely gorgeous.

Although I loved a number of Kurt Vonnegut‘s ideals, I needed a break. In the last book I listened to, he became quite repetitive, dark, and preachy. So this is my next audiobook instead. Dark, yes, but I‘m not anticipating being lectured to.

staci.reads Might be my favorite in the series! 3w
Texreader @staci.reads Great!! 3w
marleed Ohh, I prefer to be presented with information devoid of being lectured at. I‘ve stopped streaming cable media into my house for this reason. …Years ago as the webmaster for an Army installation someone thanked me for pointing them to policy so they could determine their direction rather than directly telling them they couldn‘t do something. I didn‘t realize the impact but it soon after became my personal modus operandi😀 3w

Chief Inspector Gamache is called yet again when a dead body is found in Olivier‘s cafe in Three Pines, which has undergone a huge change. City dwellers have purchased the old Hadley house, aiming to turn the haunted place into a luxury B&B. Olivier immediately becomes the main suspect of killing the poor old man in his cafe. It takes the detectives an immense amount of time to even discover who the man was, much less his murderer. This fifth ⬇️

Texreader in the series feels more concocted than the previous books. And I‘m bothered a bit by the logic—where the blood is found. But this is part 1 of 2 apparently, ending in quite the cliffhanger. We learn a lot about Olivier‘s past. He wasn‘t always the sweet, charming good-looking man everyone thought he was. Meanwhile, a few more characters‘ story lines continue: Clara is to have prestigious solo art show. Ruth‘s relationship with her duck Rosa ⬇️ 4w
Texreader is changing, but I wish there were artwork of Rosa in her daily clothes and her little raincoat. And we have a new detective, a young skinny Paul Morin, a newby with certain skills that come in handy. Even though I didn‘t care for this book as much as the previous ones in the series, I still find Three Pines charming as ever and look forward to the many more books in the series. #serieslove @thespineview @andrew65 4w

4.5⭐️ Really liked this book despite its horrific history that it deals with. I would have loved to rate this book much higher, if only the author had included an author‘s note at the conclusion of the book. I can guarantee you that most Canadians don‘t really know about the Duplessis Orphans. #2025 #canadianfiction #fiction #quebec #historicalfiction

Easily half of my reading is from the mystery genre, so it‘s hard to pick a favorite. I‘ll lean on an author I love and my favorite from the ongoing series. It‘s several mysteries in the same book! #sundayfunday

What I Know about You | ric Chacour
post image

WHAT I KNOW ABOUT YOU is my penultimate book from this year‘s Canada Reads Longlist, and it‘s yet another I‘d like to see jump to the shortlist in a year or two. While I can‘t say there‘s anything truly unexpected in the story, Chacour draws the reader into his characters‘ world so completely that I forget I know pretty well what‘s coming. And hey, I‘ve still got 80 pages or so left, so he might surprise me!
