The Brutal Telling

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.
