Histoire
On their first night in Paris, the Gamaches gather as a family for a bistro dinner with Armand’s godfather, the billionaire Stephen Horowitz. But an attempt on the elderly man’s life sends Armand, his wife, Reine-Marie, and his former second-in-command at the Sûreté, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, from the top of the Tour d’Eiffel, to the bowels of the Paris Archives, from luxury hotels to odd, coded works of art. It sends them deep into the secrets Armand’s godfather has kept for decades.

Histoire
It’s Gamache’s first day back as head of the homicide department, a job he temporarily shares with his previous second-in-command, Jean-Guy Beauvoir. Flood waters are rising across the province. In the middle of the turmoil a father approaches Gamache, pleading for help in finding his daughter. As crisis piles upon crisis, Gamache tries to hold off the encroaching chaos, and realizes the search for Vivienne Godin should be abandoned. But with a daughter of his own, he finds himself developing a profound, and perhaps unwise, empathy for her distraught father.

Histoire
It’s spring and Three Pines is reemerging after the harsh winter. But not everything buried should come alive again. Not everything lying dormant should reemerge. But something has. As the villagers prepare for a special celebration, Armand Gamache and Jean-Guy Beauvoir find themselves increasingly worried. A young man and woman 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’ve arrived in the village of Three Pines. But to what end?

Histoire
When a peculiar letter arrives inviting Armand Gamache to an abandoned farmhouse, the former head of the Sûreté du Québec discovers that a complete stranger has named him one of the executors of her will. Still on suspension, and frankly curious, Gamache accepts and soon learns that the other two executors are Myrna Landers, the bookseller from Three Pines, and a young builder. None of them had ever met the elderly woman. The will is so odd and includes bequests that are so wildly unlikely that Gamache and the others suspect the woman must have been delusional.

Histoire
When a mysterious figure appears in Three Pines one cold November day, Armand Gamache and the rest of the villagers are at first curious. Then wary. Through rain and sleet, the figure stands unmoving, staring ahead. From the moment its shadow falls over the village, Gamache, now Chief Superintendent of the Sûreté du Québec, suspects the creature has deep roots and a dark purpose. Yet he does nothing. What can he do? Only watch and wait. And hope his mounting fears are not realized.

Histoire
When an intricate old map is found stuffed into the walls of the bistro in Three Pines, it at first seems no more than a curiosity. But the closer the villagers look, the stranger it becomes. Given to Armand Gamache as a gift the first day of his new job, the map eventually leads him to shattering secrets. To an old friend and older adversary. It leads the former Chief of Homicide for the Sûreté du Québec to places even he is afraid to go. But must. And there he finds four young cadets in the Sûreté academy, and a dead professor. And, with the body, a copy of the old, odd map.

No outsiders are ever admitted to the monastery of Saint-Gilbert-Entre-les-Loups, hidden deep in the wilderness of Quebec, where two dozen cloistered monks live in peace and prayer. They grow vegetables, they tend chickens, they make chocolate. And they sing. Ironically, for a community that has taken a vow of silence, the monks have become world-famous for their glorious voices, raised in ancient chants whose effect on both singer and listener is so profound it is known as “the beautiful mystery.”

Histoire
Happily retired in the village of Three Pines, Armand Gamache, former Chief Inspector of Homicide with the Sûreté du Québec, has found a peace he'd only imagined possible. On warm summer mornings he sits on a bench holding a small book, The Balm in Gilead, in his large hands. "There is a balm in Gilead," his neighbor Clara Morrow reads from the dust jacket, "to make the wounded whole." While Gamache doesn't talk about his wounds and his balm, Clara tells him about hers. Peter, her artist husband, has failed to come home. Failed to show up as promised on the first anniversary of their separation. She wants Gamache's help to find him. Having finally found sanctuary, Gamache feels a near revulsion at the thought of leaving Three Pines. "There’s power enough in Heaven," he finishes the quote as he contemplates the quiet village, "to cure a sin-sick soul." And then he gets up. And joins her.

Warm and Cozy Mystery

Description
"...listeners will be able to sense the benevolent heart and soul of a careful investigator amidst choices that cause deadly consequences." (Booklist)
"Robert Bathurst's narration is calm, collected, and earnest, reflecting the blend of emotion and professionalism that Gamache embodies as an investigator. It's perfect for listeners seeking both captivating intrigue and insightful reflection." (BookPage)
Chief Inspector Armand Gamache returns to Three Pines in number one New York Times best seller Louise Penny's latest spellbinding novel.
You’re a coward.
Time and again, as the New Year approaches, that charge is leveled against Armand Gamache.
It starts innocently enough.
While the residents of the Québec village of Three Pines take advantage of the deep snow to ski and toboggan, to drink hot chocolate in the bistro and share meals together, the Chief Inspector finds his holiday with his family interrupted by a simple request.
He’s asked to provide security for what promises to be a non-event. A visiting Professor of Statistics will be giving a lecture at the nearby university.
While he is perplexed as to why the head of homicide for the Sûreté du Québec would be assigned this task, it sounds easy enough. That is until Gamache starts looking into Professor Abigail Robinson and discovers an agenda so repulsive he begs the university to cancel the lecture.
They refuse, citing academic freedom, and accuse Gamache of censorship and intellectual cowardice. Before long, Professor Robinson’s views start seeping into conversations. Spreading and infecting. So that truth and fact, reality and delusion are so confused it’s near impossible to tell them apart.
Discussions become debates, debates become arguments, which turn into fights. As sides are declared, a madness takes hold.
Abigail Robinson promises that, if they follow her, ça va bien aller. All will be well. But not, Gamache and his team know, for everyone.
When a murder is committed it falls to Armand Gamache, his second-in-command Jean-Guy Beauvoir, and their team to investigate the crime as well as this extraordinary popular delusion.
And the madness of crowds.

BORING!!!
Louise Penny is one of my favorite authors. ALL off her novels are in my Audible library. THE MADNESS OF CROWDS would make a superb 9 hour audio book, but it is a bad 15 hour audio book. Louise Penny can do better than this; I know because she has done better than this with 16 prior Three Pines novels.

Where is the Three Pines we know & love?
Between politics, COVID, unemployment, and a genuinely bad last year, I couldn’t wait for this book to be released. I have treasured every book in the series. This book is like turning on CNN or FOX NEWS. And, it took all of the joy of reading about the characters in the books with it.

Excellent book and series bad audio
I absolutely love this series! I got audible just to listen to this series. However, this recording contains many skips. Everytime the scene changes, the audio stats in the middle of a sentence. In fact, it sounds like it starts in the middle of a conversation. I'm not 100 percent sure I know what's going on. Very poor audio. I'm disappointed.

So Relieved! Still a Beautiful Escape!
As a long term Louise Penny fan I have to admit I was so anxious after reading the blurb when I pre-ordered months ago! It seemed that this might be steeped in politics that I need desperately to escape. Had I waited a year just to have my anxiety over the world amplified? I admit I had to move through a third of the book before I was able to relax and settle into Three Pines.
I had tears in my eyes at the conclusion and I would urge anyone who may have set this aside to take heart and pick it up again. All will be well.
I did give this a less than perfect performance rating because there were some skips and a few times it seemed an accent changed but Robert Bathhurst continues to infuse his narration with skill and heart.

The weakest of the series
I am a huge fan of Louise Penny and eagerly looked forward to this book. Unfortunately the book falls far short of expectations. Although the actual murder and investigation have many of her signature elements, the overall feel of the book is that of a plodding narrative. It was very slow to develop and if I hadn’t been such a fan of the author, I would have given up on the story.

Truly unexpected story
At first, when I saw the early description, I thought I was going to avoid this book. But I couldn’t resist it. I soon recognized that the story line was quite different than what I had imagined. I should have trusted that Louise Penny would not rely on cliches and conventional storytelling. While expecting a take on current affairs, I was astonished to find the current affairs transformed by a utilitarian scientist very much in the mode of Peter Singer. As usual, Louise Penny’s humanist self shows in every scene.
I continue to miss the original narrator. RB, while being excellent, is no match. I continue to wish that a different narrator had been chosen.

First, we finally know the Gamache dog is a dog! I am attached to all the beings in Three Pines. So good to be there in winter and holiday time. Moving ahead in time all the great folks reveal more of themselves to us and we need that as the in our time horrors stories of war, inequalities and covid. This novel broadens my understanding of just how much we need both the topic discussed and how much we “get by with a little help from friends”. Enjoyed narration and pacing.

So Far I'm Loving This Book
I'm four hours into the book. I'm enjoying the subject matter and the performance. I've had no issues with the audio at all. No skips or other problems. Perhaps if there are audio problems deleting the book and downloading again will help

Another brilliant work
I leave in northern New York, on the edges of Quebec and Vermont so I was first drawn to Louise Penny very early because of her books’ “local” interest. But they are universal in tone, geography, and subject. Her latest captures the intense anxiety and paranoia of the COVID plague in the context of family, politics, ambition and fear-mongering.
To additional layer of international responsibility for war crimes and human rights is a thought provoking subtext. Who are we to be self-righteous and why do we refuse to see human frailty , even in the most courageous? Another great and thoughtful book. Thank you, Louise Penny.
