Chief Inspector Armand Gamache #6

There is a lot going on in this outing...

Gamache, Reine Marie, and Henri are spending time in Quebec during the Winter Carnival at the home of Gamache's mentor, Emile Comeau--as Gamache is on leave while he recovers from a gun shot wound in a previous case. Reine Marie must go back to Montreal and Gamache finds himself drawn into a murder investigation at the Literary and Historical Society at the request of the local authorities. 

Jean Guy, also recovering from wounds received in the same previous case, chaffing at being confined to his home, is quite relieved to recieve a call from Gamache--asking him to travel to Three Pines--to take a quiet look back into the case in the previous book that sent Olivier to prison for murder.

During the course of the book we learn a lot about the history of Quebec, what exactly went on in the case that left both Jean Guy and Gamache injured and mentally shaken, Gamache unraveling the murder at the"Lit and His", and Jean Guy going to Three Pines to determine if Olivier really committed the crime that sent him to prison. As I have read several of LP books out of order--I was wondering that myself--but don't want to give spoilers.

Another great book and I enjoyed learning more about Quebec.
