When a mysterious figure appears in Three Pines one cold November day, Armand Gamache and the rest of the villagers are at first curious. Then wary. Through rain and sleet, the figure stands unmoving, staring ahead.
From the moment its shadow falls over the village, Gamache, now Chief Superintendent of the Sûreté du Québec, suspects the creature has deep roots and a dark purpose. Yet he does nothing. What can he do? Only watch and wait. And hope his mounting fears are not realized.
But when the figure vanishes overnight and a body is discovered, it falls to Gamache to discover if a debt has been paid or levied.
Months later, on a steamy July day as the trial for the accused begins in Montréal, Chief Superintendent Gamache continues to struggle with actions he set in motion that bitter November, from which there is no going back. More than the accused is on trial. Gamache’s own conscience is standing in judgment.

4.5 starsThe thing I love most about Penny's books is the diverse humanity of her characters. Sprinkle them into her beautifully depicted settings, add a strong dose of suspense and mystery, and you have the perfect recipe for a fine read. And even though I've been married for thirty-one years, I ha...
AudiobookWhile I still love this series, I feel the hiding crucial information from your superiors for the better good is a repeat of a different book in this series. And I feel this idyllic village has turned into the highest murder per residents village in all of the world. There are so many murde...
I think I am being overly generous with four stars, but honestly, when I read a ton of books over a few days, I just go back with my gut feeling about books. So for me, this was not the worst out of the Armand Gamache series, but it was definitely not the best. I felt myself just rolling my eyes at ...
Loved it. Pure and simple, I just loved it. Again we're in the village of Three Pines, amidst the characters we've come to love - or at least like and appreciate - and there's been trouble. The book jumps between two time periods. A Montreal courtroom in the depth of a hot and humid Montreal summ...
