This may well be my favorite entry, so far in this series. Also of course, are the remnants from the last novel, missing drugs and a suspended Gamache. This brings them into a mystery over 160 years old and bearing a famous name. Despite their doubts, they are intrigued and accept. They are tasked, along with another new arrival, with a very strange request. Instead Gamache and Myrna, arrive separately, not knowing the other was coming, at a tumbled down farmhouse. Well, this time no murder in the village.

True, I had to laugh, but it is the characters, the the people that live there, and the way they care for each other, even the demented poet Ruth. I mentioned that to someone and they said, Yes, but they have alot of murders for such a small town.

Three Pines, such picturesque village, I would love to live there, if it was real of course. I tried to make it last as long as possible, reading it slowly, even though I wanted to rush to the end.
