Even when Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, head of the homicide department in Montreal, is on vacation celebrating his anniversary
with his wife Reine-Marie, murder follows him to the remote and unique Manoir
Bellechasse. An extended family is also
vacationing there, and one of them comes to a bizarre end. The first of the series to be set away from
the charming village of Three Pines, the new locale works well with the
mystery. And two of the villagers, the
artists Peter and Clara Morrow, are on the scene too. As always, the characters – and the
descriptions of delicious meals – are a delight and the plot is complex. The series just keeps getting better. 321 pp.
