A Fatal Grace: (A Chief Inspector Gamache Mystery Book 2

I was constantly trying to work it out in the back of my mind until the grand solution was revealed, an in my opinion this is exactly what good murder mysteries ought to be able to make the reader do.Gamache is battling those that want to destroy him in this book and Jean-Guy has not spoken to him in months. Finally, Louise Penny always takes the opportunity to get her readers a bit better acquainted with Quebec and its people, and myself living in Montreal, Quebec, I can personally confirm the veracity of her portrayals. This was the primary reason I was attracted to reading this novel (in addition to having read and enjoyed the first one as well), and I must say I definitely wasn’t disappointed in regards to the murder mystery itself. Inspector Gamache is investigating a pregnant woman’s disappearance in this one while trying to help get a hold of the catastrophic situation occurring with an overflowing river. CC’s daughter, in turn, killed CC because the girl could no longer bear her mother’s constant abuse.
