Louise Penny fans will love this novel and it is a good read but not her finest work and certainly not my favorite to date. The novel does move rather slowly and the motive for the murder may be believable but is also a bit far fetched. The suspects are many in this dis-functional family full of resentment, hostility and animosity. All of the members of this family become suspects with this very unusual method of murder: by a fallen statue. How could this huge statue possibly be pushed over? An unusual way indeed. The novel also contains the back story about Gamache and how he became the man he is today: kind, strong, thoughtful and intuitive.
