A BETTER MAN by
Louise Penny
I have only one other Armand Gamache mystery. This one
convinces me I should read more!
Armand is back at work, demoted and brushed aside for
another – his son-in-law! A flood is
happening and Three Pines is in the crosshairs. A woman is missing and her
husband, who may be a murderer, is unconcerned. A new agent is pushing for
Gamache to take over the case. The missing woman’s father is threatening to
murder the husband. And then there is the dog.
Oh my – all these plot points and we are only in the first
few pages. The tension doesn’t stop
until the last page in this engrossing mystery.
Penny keeps the tension alive with just enough red herrings and plot
twists to compel reading far into the night.
A well written, engrossing mystery with a familiar character
in a new and uncomfortable situation.
5 of 5 stars
