![]() ![]() For the past couple of books, Gamache has seemed pretty untouchable and somewhat static, but this book develops his character further by showing his true skills as a detective and playing on his insecurities and fears concerning the repercussions of the Arnot case.My favorite aspect of this installment was watching the development of those around Gamache, specifically his fellow Surete officers, watching how they responded to the events of the story, how they responded to Gamache’s actions, and what choices they made concerning the main themes of the novel. Thus, this book was “less cozy” than its predecessors and a bit more intense. ![]() The building Arnot story line is what interests me most about this series, and the development of that plot kept me going throughout, negating the somewhat boring “coziness” of the murder mystery. I enjoyed this installment substantially more than the first two. ![]()
