Equally, I find myself deeply appreciating the strong and diverse female characters–Reine Marie, Clara, Myrna, Isabelle Lacoste, and of course, Ruth (and Rosa!).

This has quite simply been one of the best series I’ve read. ![]() For the moment, there are no more Gamache novels to read, unless I go back and re-read the series. I recently finished Louise Penny’s The Madness of Crowds, the seventeenth in her Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series, and the most recently published.
