Bury Your Dead by Louise Penny

adventurous funny mysterious sad tense medium-paced

5.0

After a police raid gone horribly wrong, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache seeks refuge with a former mentor while visiting Literary and Historical Society. When a body is found in the library's basement, Gamache is drawn into the investigation. Meanwhile, Gamache takes his second-in-command Jean-Guy Beauvoir to reinvestigate their last case in Three Pines, wondering if maybe Olivier is innocent after all. Haunted by their last disastrous case together, can either man push past their memories to find the truth?

Louise Penny has hooked me again. Everyone told me to wait until books 5-6 before deciding on the Inspector Gamache series, and they were absolutely correct. The three storylines in Bury Your Dead meshed extremely well, giving you a cozy murder mystery, the quirky Three Pines characters, and a thriller aspect through flashbacks. I also loved that Penny set up a larger conflict for Gamache in the next book, which I cannot wait to read.
