Get ready to put everything on hold, because once you start reading this book you won't want to stop. And then...AND THEN, you'll read it again! To savor every scene, paragraph, sentence, and word that you ploughed through the first time because you had to find out what happened next. Your emotions will go on a roller coaster ride from anger to hope, sadness to joy. And oh, wait until you see the reveals this time. Another beautifully written story from Louise Penny.

“There is something rotten at the Surete academy, and the now-retired Chief Inspector Armand Gamache has been brought in to clean it up. In the meantime, a strange map has been found in Three Pines. Old friends, new characters, murder, and history combine in another irresistible tale from Penny, whose writing is always compassionate, funny, and literate. This latest in the series is not to be missed.”
