I am a huge Inspector Gamache fan and Louise Penny can do no wrong. I'm inching my way towards the end of this series and have been hoarding the last few books and doling them out slowly so I don't go through them too quickly 😆.
While I love Inspector Gamache, this is not one of the stronger books in the series. It's not bad, but not a standout either. Even though this is not one of the stronger installments, it's a vital read for those working through the series from start to finish as there are large developments in the story arcs of some of the longstanding characters. And diving headfirst into a Louise Penny book is never a bad way to end the year.
