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.
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.
pickI got to see Louise Penny. She was so funny. She was walking back and forth on the stage and her silk scarf kept slithering off her shoulder. Finally, after picking it up (one more time) she laughed and said something like, perhaps we hadn‘t expected to see Salome‘s Dance of the Seven Veils. She was great. 😊 👍

I don‘t remember a barn in the story, but it sure looks like one or two on the cover!
pickAfter taking a 2 month break from the Gamache series bc of other audio holds coming in @ the library I really enjoyed this installment of the series. The ongoing mystery of who killed Vivian was very well done & while I ended up predicting the culprit I enjoyed the intrigue & suspense! I can‘t believe Jean Guy & Annie are going 2 France! I‘m eager 2 read the next book!! I want to finish the 4 remaining books before the 20th comes out later this yr
Licorice pipes are a candy frequently mentioned in the Inspector Gamache series. I‘d never heard of them before reading these books. I recently recommended the series to my dad and he‘s been loving them. The other day he surprised me with these strange candies. He‘d been curious to find out what they were like. So if you‘re wondering, this is what licorice pipes look like!

Got Matt hooked on these books, and he's four ahead of me! 🤩 Quickest way to get this one was to buy it, and he's happily hygge-ing it all day with this one.
