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.
