Sunday Spotlight

Thank you Minotaur Books for this gifted copy.

The latest book in the 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲 series is now out in paperback! So if you’re looking for a gripping who-done-it mystery I definitely recommend you pick up this one! I also highly recommend this series on audiobook too, and absolutely love how I’m always swept away into the story in such a cinematic way.

𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: It’s spring and Three Pines is reemerging after the harsh winter. But not everything buried should come alive again. Not everything lying dormant should reemerge.

But something has.

As the villagers prepare for a special celebration, Armand Gamache and Jean-Guy Beauvoir find themselves increasingly worried. A young man and woman have reappeared in the Sûreté du Québec investigators’ lives after many years. The two were young children when their troubled mother was murdered, leaving them damaged, shattered. Now they’ve arrived in the village of Three Pines.

But to what end?

Gamache and Beauvoir’s memories of that tragic case, the one that first brought them together, come rushing back. Did their mother’s murder hurt them beyond repair? Have those terrible wounds, buried for decades, festered and are now about to erupt?

As Chief Inspector Gamache works to uncover answers, his alarm grows when a letter written by a long dead stone mason is discovered. In it the man describes his terror when bricking up an attic room somewhere in the village. Every word of the 160-year-old letter is filled with dread. When the room is found, the villagers decide to open it up.

As the bricks are removed, Gamache, Beauvoir and the villagers discover a world of curiosities. But the head of homicide soon realizes there’s more in that room than meets the eye. There are puzzles within puzzles, and hidden messages warning of mayhem and revenge.
