Well Worth Revisiting
My spouse read this novel and here's her review.
Read this book for the second time and it was well worth revisiting the Chief Inspector series.
Armand Gamache and his adored spouse Reine-Marie are taking a well-earned break in the isolated Manoir Bellechasse. Other guests are members of the Morrow family, all of whom are damaged by their seemingly cold upbringing. One member of the family dies - but how was this almost impossible murder committed and why? Everyone in the family appears to have a motive but who had the means...? As always the descriptions of people, places, aromas and tastes draw the reader in.
Even on a repeat read, lots of small details emerge to delight the reader and fill in the background for future books (and there'll be many!)
I strongly recommend reading this engrossing series in order -starting with Still Life- to make more sense of the characters. I love Ms. Penny's writing style and her ability to create layers that build up to an inevitable conclusion.
