Thank god for authors with rich backlists and lots and lots of audiobook offerings. In march I finished the Rockton/Casey Duncan series that I have previously reviewed and then moved on to catch up on the audios of Haley Edwards Black Hat Bureau series.

Last year when this came out I put it in my mental wish-list…but I just wasn't going to plunk down full price for a collection of short stories where I was only likely to read 2 of the stories. Thankfully one of the libraries I used finally bought the audio version! I jumped in and…

12. The Nature of the Beast of Louise Penny (CIGM #11, WM Quebecois, CW: Child Death, Serial Killer, Child killer) I am going to let this book sit with me a bit. I don’t feel ready to jump into the next because of what wringer the residents of Three Pines have been through already. We…

Oooooooooh ooooh. Wow. This books so many things so well. It upends some our most beloved characters once more and opens them and their hurts in deeper ways. Bad I knitted and speed listened to the last hours of this book I was riveted, tense, wounded and blown away. Just going to keep riding this…

My local library only recently started offering Hoopla access, so I stuck my earbuds in, downloaded the book, and basically spent the next day…

8. The Hangman by Louise Penny (CIGM #6.5, WM Quebecois Detective, short story) One of the final episodes of the TV adaptation's season used this story for its plot and honestly there wasn't much to this beyond what they adapted. Just sort of flat. (CWs: Murder, suicide, grief)

A murder in an isolated monastery, bring Gamache and Beouvoir to the cloistered community where glances, silences and the smallest of tremors are magnified into blaring communication. I was spoiled for a major character conflict in this book and it made it so hard to read as I saw it happening. The relationship of…

A Trick of the Light by Louise Penny (CIAG #7, WM a Québécois detective). Oops belatedly realized I missed a short story. This story seemed crowded with suspects, left me feeling sad. Cw: addiction, murder, gaslighting, past trauma: emotional abuse Jean-Guy and Peter are both spiraling in this book but I only think one…

After the devastation to Three Pines after the last book where one of its most prominent citizens and beloved recurring character ends up accused of murder by Gamache and his team, it is no surprise that the book starts elsewhere but what is a surprise is that Gamache and many members of his team are…
