I hate to admit this, but Clara’s crisis is as important as Gamache’s. One fear is Reine-Marie’s, that Jean-Guy must be with Armand to keep him safe. It’s through Penny’s use of third person global subjective point-of-view, which allows us into the hearts and minds of many of the characters, battling their anger, stoking their passion, and raising their fears.
Thank god for the comic relief offered through Ruth and Rosa. It’s cozy and terrifying, warm and freezing, accepting and off-putting. It’s a result that is exemplified by Jean-Guy’s action in the bar and his instructions to his men. He’s gentle and persistent, wanting to bring the good out in everyone. Gamache is an amazing man, especially for a cop. Couple all this with Penny’s summing up of the corruption earlier in the series with the agents now questioning Gamache’s fitness (especially in How the Light Gets In, 9), and it gets really tense. It became more person with Toussaint’s attitude, which was so bewildering…and I hated her. What’s making life even more interesting is all the nasty posts and tweets going out about Gamache.
Phew, Penny ups that tension making it obvious that Gamache influenced every one of those agents. Gamache is a phoenix, coming back, but the agents witnessing his return had never thought to see it and are questioning every move they anticipate that Gamache and Beauvoir will make. What? Nor is she the only whose “talents” are being questioned, as it’s Gamache’s first day back at work. Whoaaa, the first three lines took me aback! Tweets that say Clara sucks as an artist. Other books by this author which I have reviewed include Still Life, A Fatal Grace, A Rule Against Murder, The Cruelest Month, The Brutal Telling, Bury Your Dead, The Hangman, A Trick of the Light, The Beautiful Mystery, How the Light Gets In, The Long Way Home, The Nature of the Beast, A Great Reckoning, Kingdom of the Blind, All The Devils are Hereįifteenth in the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache mystery series set in Québec, Canada, and revolving around the Canadian police force and Gamache. It is part of the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache #15 series and is a mystery in a Kindle edition that was published by Minotaur Books on August 27. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review.
