The case has haunted Gamache and his second in command Jean Guy Beauvoir for many years. It begins in the past, with recollections of the murder of a prostitute and drug addict whose two children were discovered to be victims of sexual abuse. It has all the features we’ve come to expect and love: the camaraderie of the inhabitants of Three Pines the Chief’s intuitive understanding of human nature and an intricately woven, emotionally nuanced plot. This is the 18th title in the series featuring Armand Gamache, head of the Sûreté du Québec, and his friends and neighbours in the small village of Three Pines. Just when I suspected the Chief Inspector Gamache series was running of out steam, Louise Penny comes out with a corker of a novel in the shape of A World of Curiosities.
