A Better Man --by Louise Penny (Inspector Gamache series)

 Fiction / Mystery

417 pages / 9984 KB

5 Stars

 

Thoroughly enjoyable! Complex story lines, woven together at the end. If you’re a fast reader, you might want to consider slowing down. The clues are all there, can you figure it out? 

 

Mostly this is the story of Gamache as he comes off his suspension/leave and returns to a job at the Surete. Lacoste also comes full circle and returns. I have a couple of questions that weren’t answered, and I’m hoping they will be next book. Then, again, perhaps they have been answered and I just don’t like the answers!

 

Vivienne has either been murdered or committed suicide. Her husband is abusive and the obvious suspect. But, did he do it? Who was her lover? Whose child was she carrying? Who else had a motive to kill her?

 

Why is Clara being treated like she is? I hope she gets redemption in the next book. I can understand why she feels the way she does — negative reviews hurt, even if correct. But why so vicious?

 

Perhaps the most important question raised is, is Ruth softening?
