Ah, good evening.

Please, make yourself at home. Would you like to join me for a nice hot cuppa?

Isn’t that better?

Now, the reason you’re here: murder.

Might I introduce you to Inspector Gamache? I had no idea that he has been around for so long, but, boy, am I glad that I met him!

I went into this tale not realizing that it was not the first or, for that matter, even the second, but the twelfth book in this series!

When I first was listening as well, it sounded like they were saying Inspector Ganache…which made me really hungry for a side of chocolate with the main course of murder.

There was so much dimension within the tale, especially with each character. You thought you knew what was to come, but it also really made you second guess yourself. I know which characters I really trusted and which ones I maybe should not have, but I wanted to get to know all of them regardless.

I kept fearing that there would be loose ends, but it graciously made everything come to a head or be resolved.

Who caused the scene?

Who committed the murder?

Were there multiple parties involved?

Did the victim deserve what they got?

But who were they really?

These questions and more will be answered! Now, to find all other twelve books in the series…
