![]() ![]() The children, now grown, are involved in the discovery but the danger to Gamache is unclear. Memories of that tragedy are brought to the forefront in a present-day discovery of a mysterious painting locked away in a hidden room above the village bookstore. ![]() The older child is convicted of the murder but Gamache suspects the younger was as involved, if not more. Two children have been abused and their mother is murdered. Without giving too much away: the story is told through a series of flashbacks to one of Inspector Beauvoir’s first cases with Gamache. No cannibalism, but it’s steeped in psychological horror. It has some Silence of the Lambs characteristics. Drama and murder has come to his door step. In this book (18th in the series), Gamache spends most of his time in Three Pines. I find her Chief Inspector Gamache so charming that it’s hard to not read each instalment in a single day. Louise Penny is one of those authors that gets me hook, line and sinker, every time. ![]()
