Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

A devoted aficionado of the Inspector Gamache series, I prepurchased this one and am horribly disappointed. I’m deeply sorry for whatever Author Louise Penny has suffered during ~two years of pandemic and social strife, but she *need not take it out on her readers*. I’ve tremendously enjoyed this series until now, and always look forward to Three Pines and Ruth escapism. This book has no element of escapism. Horrible, awful reality and we’ve all had more than enough of it. Only buy this book if you wish to become depressed and upset.
