A #1 New York Times Bestseller, Louise Penny's The Long Way Home is an intriguing Chief Inspector Gamache Novel. Happily retired in the village of Three Pines, Armand Gamache, former Chief Inspector of Homicide with the Sûreté du Québec, has found a peace he'd only imagined possible. On warm summer mornings he sits on a bench holding a small book, The Balm in Gilead, in his large hands. "There is a balm in Gilead," his neighbor Clara Morrow reads from the dust jacket, "to make the wounded whole. "While Gamache doesn't talk about his wounds and his balm, Clara tells him about hers. Peter, her artist husband, has failed to come home. Failed to show up as promised on the first anniversary of their separation. She wants Gamache's help to find him. Having finally found sanctuary, Gamache feels a near revulsion at the thought of leaving Three Pines. "There's power enough in Heaven," he finishes the quote as he contemplates the quiet village, "to cure a sin-sick soul. " And then he gets up. And joins her. Together with his former second-in-command, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, and Myrna Landers, they journey deeper and deeper into Québec. And deeper and deeper into the soul of Peter Morrow. A man so desperate to recapture his fame as an artist, he would sell that soul. And may have. The journey takes them further and further from Three Pines, to the very mouth of the great St. Lawrence river.

A Journey to Make with Armand Gamache

Wow, this book – another great one of Penny’s featuring my favorite character Armand Gamache – held me in suspense as he and three others search for a missing person from Three Pines. They search in different cities and places trying to track the person down. Penny brought me to places I never knew; some I’d love to see and others that scared me. Louise Penny, you are a gifted writer. I’m so glad I finally discovered you. Now I'll begin book eleven. I don’t want to reach the end of this series!

Wonderful writing

Peter did not return to Three Pines when Clara expected him and asks Armand to help her find him. Armand, Jean-Guy, Clara and Myrna set off to trace Peter's travels and discover some interesting places that he has visited. Clara insists that she be in charge since she knows Peter the best as his wife. Armand agrees over Jean-Guy's protests, and she does a pretty good job. There were many places discussed that I had not heard of and was surprised by. The mystery is slow and twisty but engrossing.
