There is more to solving a crime than following the clues.
Welcome to Chief Inspector Gamache's world of facts and feelings.

The air is unbearably tense as Armand Gamache returns to 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, his home of Three Pines itself is threatened when the river breaks its banks, and an emergency is declared.

As the waters rise, a body is discovered - and the victim's distraught father contemplates revenge. Gamache is a father himself, and is haunted by a question . . . what would he do, if his child's killer might walk free?

Millions of fans worldwide.
One inimitable Chief Inspector Gamache.

Critic reviews

"She makes most of her competitors seem like wannabes." (The Times)

"The series is deep and grand and altogether extraordinary.... Miraculous." (Washington Post)

Not one of her best

I’ve read most if not all of her novels but this one was long and unnecessarily repetitious- the end was interesting but it took too long to get there - the performance was brilliant!
