Short Review: In the fifth of the Inspector Gamache books, Gamache is back in Three Pines and one of the main three pines characters is suspected of killing an unknown man. This was both a very satisfying and not satisfying book. I like the deeper psychological investigations and I am beginning to really like the quirky characters. And several of the more peripheral characters are becoming more three dimensional. But some of the actual mystery components on this one seemed a little of a stretch. But in general I am enjoying each of the books more as I keep going through the series.

I think this one is my favorite of the series so far! I cannot get enough of Armand Gamache and the Three Pines characters. I really hope there are more planned in this series! :D
Maybe i'm falling out of love with this series. The last two have been...not my favorite.
In this one a hermit that lives in the woods is found murdered in Olivier and Gabri's cafe. Ruth, who I usually love, has become nasty- especially toward Gamache. I never got the impression she hated him before. Clara may get her own art show.
We learn a lot about stolen art, probably more than I cared to learn about. I did love the new family and the rescue horses. It just didn't have the coziness I expect from Three Pines.
