Another fun mystery set in the adorable village of Three Pines! I guessed who the murderer was early on, then doubted myself as the mystery took some twists and turns. This is one of those situations where you’re like “Who *wouldn’t* have wanted to kill this person?” There were actually two murders here, and of course there was a connection. The conclusion was satisfying and I loved spending time with these characters again. There are some overarching story arcs here, regarding the Arnot case and the presence of Yvette Nichol, who Gamache fired from his team in the first book but who has reappeared and who I can’t quite figure out. I have to continue the series, if for no other reason to follow these storylines (which I really hope don’t drag on too much, tbh.) But I’ll also be glad to visit the inhabitants of Three Pines again!

I don’t actually love this series but these are still 110% my comfort read books. I feel like I bear with the authors sexism is her characters just to feel like I’m up north again in a quaint Canadian town. I’ve heard the books get better as the series goes on but for right now, I’m not here for the mystery.

There are characters that call each other unkind names, in loving ways, but as one is a homophobic slur (though the character is not homophobic) readers should be aware.
