Excellent addition to a great series

The more I read of this series, the more I appreciate the complexity of the characters Louise Penny has created. Not only is this a well paced mystery, but it has a multitude of engaging characters with their own talents, flaws and hidden stories. I would not recommend this as a stand alone as the storyline continues from the previous book, "The Brutal Telling." In fact, I strongly recommend reading the entire series starting with "Still Life," and reading them in order to appreciate the evolving nature of the characters and their interactions with each other. Highly recommended

The Best So Far (And I Loved Them All!)

The fifth book in Penny’s Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series is the best so far (and I loved the first four). Sometimes with an author’s ‘next’ book, I may find disappointment from the previous ones, but not with Louise Penny’s books. Each one gets better, and I wonder how that can be. Back in Three Pines and a terrifying murder in the quiet village. But who is the victim? No one seems to know, but one resident knows more than they are saying.

Interesting Quebec history included

I am enjoying this series so much. In this book, Armand is visiting his friend and mentor in Quebec City while he is recovering from an injury that happened when things went very wrong on a previous investigation. Armand is haunted by what happened and can't get away from the voice in his head. He feels that he made a lot of mistakes that led to the death of some of his officers and he is trying to come to terms with it. While in Quebec City a man is found murdered at a library that Armand has been visiting and he is invited to assist with the investigation by the local detective on the case. This story includes a lot of history of Quebec that I enjoyed. I also enjoyed the new characters and setting. Also, Armand has asked Jean-Guy to return to Three Pines to re-investigate the case of the death of the hermit and Oliver's guilt. I enjoyed the parallel story lines and how Jean-Guy got better acquainted with the residents of Three Pines. The resolution to both cases was surprising.
