A Better Man by Louise Penny is the next Armand Gamash book.
Completed: 11/5/2022
Recommendation: Highly recommended
Recommended By: My parents
Review:
Gamash is no longer crushing corruption, but that doesn't mean all is well in the ranks. Somehow Penny has brought these characters to life and the shocking number of deaths in Three Pines continues to demonstrate it is "the murder capital of Canada" (as my father says). Fortunately Gamash is on hand and those who commit the dastardly deed will not hide for long. I have long ago given up trying to figure out the mystery (in my opinion it is simply impossible in this book). This lets me enjoy the book as a story rather than constantly trying to distinguish between red herrings (plentiful) and actual clues (few and so well disguised as to be indistinguishable). I also don't obsess over missing details (like, what was the phone number?). This lets me enjoy the book itself and relish in character development.
