À propos de cet audio
"...listeners will be able to sense the benevolent heart and soul of a careful investigator amidst choices that cause deadly consequences." (Booklist)
"Robert Bathurst's narration is calm, collected, and earnest, reflecting the blend of emotion and professionalism that Gamache embodies as an investigator. It's perfect for listeners seeking both captivating intrigue and insightful reflection." (BookPage)
Chief Inspector Armand Gamache returns to Three Pines in number one New York Times best seller Louise Penny's latest spellbinding novel.
You’re a coward.
Time and again, as the New Year approaches, that charge is leveled against Armand Gamache.
It starts innocently enough.
While the residents of the Québec village of Three Pines take advantage of the deep snow to ski and toboggan, to drink hot chocolate in the bistro and share meals together, the Chief Inspector finds his holiday with his family interrupted by a simple request.
He’s asked to provide security for what promises to be a non-event. A visiting Professor of Statistics will be giving a lecture at the nearby university.
While he is perplexed as to why the head of homicide for the Sûreté du Québec would be assigned this task, it sounds easy enough. That is until Gamache starts looking into Professor Abigail Robinson and discovers an agenda so repulsive he begs the university to cancel the lecture.
They refuse, citing academic freedom, and accuse Gamache of censorship and intellectual cowardice. Before long, Professor Robinson’s views start seeping into conversations. Spreading and infecting. So that truth and fact, reality and delusion are so confused it’s near impossible to tell them apart.
Discussions become debates, debates become arguments, which turn into fights. As sides are declared, a madness takes hold.
Abigail Robinson promises that, if they follow her, ça va bien aller. All will be well. But not, Gamache and his team know, for everyone.
When a murder is committed it falls to Armand Gamache, his second-in-command Jean-Guy Beauvoir, and their team to investigate the crime as well as this extraordinary popular delusion.
And the madness of crowds.

On a cold November morning, a jogger runs through the woods in the peaceful Quebec village of Three Pines. On his run, he finds a dead man hanging from a tree. The dead man was a guest at the local Inn and Spa. He might have been looking for peace and quiet, but something else found him. Something horrible. Did the man take his own life? Or was he murdered?

During intermission at the famed La Fenice opera house in Venice, Italy, a notoriously difficult and widely disliked German conductor is poisoned—and suspects abound. Guido Brunetti, a native Venetian, sets out to unravel the mystery behind the high-profile murder. To do so, he calls on his knowledge of Venice, its culture, and its dirty politics. Along the way, he finds the crime may have roots going back decades—and that revenge, corruption, and even Italian cuisine may play a role.

Too much filler
Louise Penny has the best characters so I keep reading her books. this one had a lot of filler and made me think she had to pad it to reach a required length. She needs a better editor or needs to listen to one that she has to avoid annoying her readers with sappy idyllic descriptions of Three Pines and repetitious review of the different murder theories.

Great mysteries investigated in small-town Quebec
Great mysteries investigated in a small, wintery town in Quebec, with lovely characters who have found a way to live together. I found this one quite emotional.

Penny has written post COVID mystery both intriguing and entertaining
This book moves forward with the delightful inhabitants of Three Pines and the aftermath of a post COVID world and also introduces the reader to new characters into Three Pines. The who done it aspect is still strong and keeps you guessing. A great book .
Robert Bathurst gives a remarkable performance. His voice brings the characters alive without being over the top. I will again by the hardcover book after listening to the audible version so I can read them again.
