The Cruelest Month

Short Review: The Cruelest Month: A Chief Inspector Gamache #3 by Louise Penny - the series really takes off with this third book. I enjoyed the first two, but didn't really grab me. This third book, although it was a slow start and the murder occurs during a seance (which doesn't excite me), really picks up. The part that picks up is that we finally start getting back story and these fairly cardboard characters get fleshed out and become real, especially Gamache.

In the end everything gets mostly wrapped up, but the solving the murder literally gets interrupted by an old case of Gamache's that is far more interesting than the current murder in the book. I am a bit over half way through book 4 and I enjoy it even more than the third one, which I really like.
