As opposed to
the last one, I really enjoyed this Armand Gamache mystery. It was super complex, it was partially based in history, and it was overall just much more compelling than
The Long Way Home. I liked how there was partly a typical murder mystery with the original murder, but it was also a much more complex investigation into the enormous gun discovered in the forest and into the mind of a already-incarcerated serial killer. A few of the things that happened in the story seemed almost too coincidental--like how Gamache figured out that John Fleming (the serial killer) was connected to the gun so quickly--but I think she pretty much explained it by the end, so I give her a pass. Definitely a thrilling read, that's for sure.
