Gamache is investigating the apparent suicide by a woman who is using an assumed identity.  He unveils a tragic story of the woman&#8217;s past.  This investigation provides a background to the culmination of events involving his former second-in-command and friend, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, and the Chief of the S\u00fbret\u00e9, Sylvan Franceur.  <\/p>\n<p>Gamache returns to Three Pines for his base of operations because of it&#8217;s lack of connectedness to the outside.  This allows all the familiar characters of Three Pines to become a part of the story.  <\/p>\n<p>This is a well-told mystery, although it deviates from the traditional mystery in that it has major themes continuing through the series.  This book brings it all to a close and set up what looks like a change in the series with the next book.  The writing is excellent and the characters engrossing.
