Synopsis
In the eighteenth book in Louise Penny’s beloved Chief Inspector Gamache series, a young man and woman return to Three Pines after many years. The two were young children when their troubled mother was murdered, leaving them damaged, shattered. Now, they are back, and they bring with them a mystery that will test Gamache and his team to their limits. As the villagers prepare for a special celebration, Gamache and Jean-Guy Beauvoir find themselves increasingly worried. The siblings, Fiona and Sam Arsenault, have reappeared in the Sûreté du Québec investigators’ lives after many years. The two were young children when their troubled mother was murdered, leaving them damaged, shattered. Now, they are back, and they bring with them a mystery that will test Gamache and his team to their limits. The siblings claim to have found a hidden room in Myrna’s loft, filled with strange and disturbing objects. The room seems to be connected to the murder of their mother, and Gamache fears that it may also be connected to a series of recent murders in the village. As Gamache and his team investigate, they uncover a dark and twisted history that has been buried for many years. The truth, when it is finally revealed, will shock and disturb even the most hardened of investigators.

About Scene of the Crime Books, ABAC, IOBA
My wife and I have been operating Scene of the Crime Books since 1996. In 2004 we attempted to go against the market and open a storefront on Oakville Ontario. In August 2006 we closed the brick and mortar and humbly went back to just internet. We now do internet and appointment only through our home. So if you're in our neighborhood let us know 24 hours ahead of time. Thank you. Don Longmuir
