In this, the 12th book in Louise Penny’s series of Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, Gamache has taken the position of the commander of the Sûreté Academy.
Things can’t go peacefully, one of his political opponents is murdered on the campus. Students trained to investigate crime could be good at murder, he is also a suspect and must tread carefully.
This is one of the better books in the series, the mystery is good and well-told, the denouement is clean, things were not as they seemed.
Even though told in first person, I felt a bit much was hidden from the reader, but the story is very good.
