Catastrophic spring flooding, blistering attacks in the media, and a mysterious disappearance greet Chief Inspector Armand Gamache in the latest novel by Louise Penny.
I found this book a bit disappointing. I am tired of the rehashing of the factory raid. There definitely was not enough about the magical, charming Three Pines that we all love to read about. Penny is an excellent writer and her plots are complex and her characters are unique but there was not much character development in this book. I really enjoy the early books but the last few have been very dark and dreary. Penny needs to get back to Three Pines so we can smell the bread baking and spend time with our characters that we so love from this series.
