Publisher's Summary

On a cold November morning, a jogger runs through the woods in the peaceful Quebec village of Three Pines. On his run, he finds a dead man hanging from a tree. The dead man was a guest at the local Inn and Spa. He might have been looking for peace and quiet, but something else found him. Something horrible. Did the man take his own life? Or was he murdered?

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is called to the crime scene. As Gamache follows the trail of clues, he opens a door into the past. And he learns the true reason why the man came to Three Pines.

This is a short audiobook for people on the go.

A short read but as usual a great one. It seems to be one written earlier in the series but the story line was Exciting, none the less.

Enjoyable short story

I enjoyed this little story. Just a few of the regular characters from Three Pines and the homicide team. Still the familiar twists and red herrings. Recommended

Excellent

Louise Penny creates wonderfully crafted mysteries. The detail makes the story flow nicely and transports you to Three Pines.

Left me hanging!

Short story at best! Full credit for 1.5hr book, should have caught that before ordering.

Terrible interpretation!

I’m sure the book is good as all the Inspector Gamach are superb but this interpretation was terrible in the narrator/lack of accents and even the lack of French accents of names.
I will be asking for a refund 😟

A waste of a credit

I read all 17 (or 18?) Gamache books. This one is a joke or what?? Why???
