Isn't that a gorgeous cover? Finnish, if Google translate is right.
I'm attached to the characters, but I can see a day coming when I stop reading this series. :-( This is a bit overwritten and reuses some overly familiar themes. Still a good read overall.

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
pickNumber 15 in the Chief Inspector Gamache series was another winner! A missing woman, massive spring flooding across the province, and the trio of Gamache, Beuvoir, and LaCoste back together again gave this book the elements we've come to love from the Three Pines series.
pickThis one was definitely interesting given the topic of the professor‘s research. Definitely would make for a heated debate in terms of ethics. While I enjoyed this one overall, it kind of dragged on and on to me. I think it could‘ve been shorter. It‘s always good to be with Gamache, Beauvoir, and Lacoste solving a case! I‘m excited that I‘m almost caught up on this long running series, this being the 17th one!!
pickThe 4th book in the Gamach series, this is a contemplative, character-driven mystery set in a remote Québec inn, where Chief Inspector Gamache is drawn into a complex family drama turned murder investigation. The novel excels in atmosphere, elegant prose, and deep character exploration, particularly in its portrayal of Gamache and the complex dynamics of the Finney family, whose dysfunction is central to the plot and the murder of one of its own.
pickMy family and I were planning a trip to Montreal next month. Plans changed, so now I‘m armchair travelling to Three Pines with Chief Inspector Gamache. I wouldn‘t say it‘s an amazingly gripping book. It is interesting and cozy enough for me to look forward to the second in the series. #Quebec
Like many others, this was my favorite of the series so far, despite my having some serious critiques. There are three mysteries involved and at least two aren't satisfactorily solved; there are so many plot holes, especially in the resolution of the story from The Brutal Telling. But at this point in the series probably most of us are reading for the characters, and oh, it's tragic and beautiful.
Giving this a try tonight. Has anyone watched it?
