![]() ![]() The only thing that I didn’t like was the sub-plot with Daniel. Also, the twists and turns, unlike the last couple of books, were much more plausible. I read this book very quickly, because it was twisty and turny and had high emotional stakes. ![]() The investigation opens up a can of worms for the entire Gamache extended family. Then, a body is found in Stephen’s apartment while he remains in critical condition at the hospital. After a family dinner, Stephen is hit by a car, and everyone who witnessed it is convinced it was done on purpose. We met Stephen last book (and maybe before that, who even knows), but I didn’t quite catch on that he was basically a millionaire. ![]() Also in attendance for the birth is Gamache’s godfather, who along with his adoptive grandmother, basically raised Gamache after his parents died. The Gamache’s other son Daniel, who I dislike, also lives in Paris with his family. Gamache and Reine-Marie are in Paris because Annie and Beauvoir’s baby is coming, and they want to be there for the birth (they moved to Paris last book, if you recall). This book featured an implausibly large conspiracy, and I didn’t even think to complain about it once! It feels like Penny is getting her groove back. This was a major improvement on the last few books. ![]()
