Bury Your Dead (Chief Inspector Gamache, #6)

by Louise Penny

The multi-award-winning novel from worldwide phenomenon and number one New York Times bestseller Louise Penny, and the sixth book in the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series

As Quebec City shivers in the grip of winter, its ancient stone walls cracking in the cold, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache plunges into the strangest case of his celebrated career.

A man has been brutally murdered in one of the city's oldest buildings - a library where the English citizens of Quebec safeguard their history. And the death opens a door into the past, exposing a mystery that has lain dormant for centuries . . . a mystery Gamache must solve if he's to catch a present-day killer.

Steeped in luscious atmosphere, brimming with the suspense and wit that have earned Louise Penny a massive global following, BURY YOUR DEAD is an ingenious suspense novel.

This installment was a heartbreaker. Up until now, it feels like the stories have been decidedly separate, but this one pulled in lots of events from the previous book, and events that happened in between. Processing everything that happens in between is really heart wrenching, for both Gamache and Beauvior.

Louise Penny's books have quickly become favorites of mine and I wait in anticipation each time I hear there is going to be a new one! This latest installment takes place (for the most part) outside of Three Pines and even though that usually means I will enjoy the story (slightly) less, this was not the case at all for this particular book! I found the Samuel de Champlain angle fascinating, and Ms. Penny's way with words, details and descriptions makes you want to pull up stakes and follow Armand Gamache wherever he may go! Could not recommend this book (or the other 5) more highly.
