Be Charmed by These Bewitching Books from 2025
A Goodreads user asked this question about The Long Way Home (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, #10):
anyone read this yet? How does it stack up against her other Gamache novels?

You can only do so much description with words, truly I wished there were pictures in the book so I'd understand the mulititude of images the characters were seeing, or thought they were seeing. There was just too much damn art - it was about color, composition, various types of painting, art theory...Sorry, I wasn't an art major and can't begin to imagine what the "dog's breakfast" paintings looked like.
And while the last 5-10% wasn't as out-of-left-field as that of #8 "The Beautiful Mystery" - the last few pages have me convinced Penny starts to feel rushed and slaps the ending together - as relieved to finish writing the book as I was to finish it. (less)
