Review: My fifteenth Gamache book by Louise Penny is the first that did not garner an undisputed “A” rating. Though still feeling like returning to a dear old friend, and filled with the wonder of life in Quebec through the kind and thoughtful eyes of Chief Inspector Gamache, this one seemed to drift in story line a bit, and in the end, was just too phantasmagoric for me to really dive fully into; hint: secretive and well veiled effort to ultimately crush the drug cartels once and for all…with one fell swoop. All felt a little much…. but Gamache, with his sandalwood, rosewater scent and his well metered catchphrase: “Tell me what you now”…..remains a literary wonder for the ages.
