I read the first 3 books in the Inspector Gamache series.

Then gave up.

This is book #15 in the series and it’s far better than the first three.

Though the book should have been shorter, the plot is superb.

Gamache has a tough time determining the murderer.

The air is unbearably tense as Armand Gamache returns to the Surete du Quebec for his first day of work since being demoted from its command to head of homicide.

Amid blistering personal social media attacks, Gamache sets out on his first assignment.

He has been tasked with finding a missing woman, but while he leads the search for Vivienne Godin, Three Pines itself is threatened when the river breaks its banks, and a province-wide emergency is declared.

Seems I’d better continue reading Penny. The more recent Gamache books.
