Inspector Gamache is an automatic five star for me, sorry not sorry! This series is such a comfort read for me. Though I missed the Three Pines villagers in this installment, the Paris setting was fun and different. The mystery was complex to keep it dynamic, but not so complex you can’t follow along. My favorite element was finally getting to explore Gamache’s relationship with his son. Gamache is so well-loved and respected by just about everyone (except the murderers he catches). But his own son essentially can’t stand him. Digging into those family dynamics is always entertaining to me. I’ll never stop recommending this series!
