The Long Way Home by Louise Penny, 373 pgs.
Former Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is supposed to be retired. Too soon, though, he is pulled back into the world of investigation when longtime friend to the Gamaches, Clara Morrow, asks for help. Clara's husband, Peter, has gone missing, and her Three Pines community rallies to her aide. As the search begins, the Three Pines crew wonders what they will find along the way, and if--in fact--they are doing more harm than good in moving forward.
As a follow-up to the nail-biting action of How the Light Gets In, this story feels a bit slower, but it is always nice to be back in a Three Pines mystery. In this one, we get to know more about Clara and Peter's college life, and we get to see Armand's wife, Rene-Marie, start to have a bit more of a role. Art lovers and Clara-and-Peter fans will enjoy this one.
