From Barnes & NobleChief Inspector Armand Gamache is on leave, but unfortunately, nobody bothered to tell the criminals. When the intrepid sleuth arrives at Quebec City's Winter Carnival, he expects a soothing respite; instead, he is thrust into a homicide investigation focused on the city's hallowed Literary and Historical Society. As if one deadly conundrum is not enough, poor Gamache must also confront the unjust murder conviction of a beloved village bistro owner. As we have come to expect, Armand and author Louis Penny juggle case number one and case number two adroitly. A favorite series among veteran whodunit aficionados. Superlative reader reviews; now in paperback and NOOK Book.
