The Brutal Telling by Louise Penny

sirrydactyl's review against another edition

5.0

Spectacular writing, as always. I love how Louise Penny keeps a common theme throughout all her characters in each book. This ending was unexpected for me, and I expect more to come of this telling.

Each book is better than the last, if that is possible. But wow, I did not expect this to turn out the way it did. Fascinating story though!
