In August 2016 we read The Cruelest Month
It's Easter, and on a
perfect spring day in peaceful Three Pines, someone waits for night
to fall, they plan to raise the dead...
When C.I. Armand Gamache of the Surete
du Quebec is called to the village the next morning he faces an
unusual crime scene. A seance in an old, abandoned house has gone
horrifically wrong and a villager lies still, spirited away –
apparently frightened to death.
Gamache soon discovers that in idyllic
Three Pines not all is as it should be. Toxic secrets lie buried,
and something fetid and festering has clawed its way out. And even
Gamache has something to hide. He is shielding his team from a
terrible truth. A powerful enemy within the Surete has planted a
traitor amongst them. Who will betray him? And how far will they go
to ensure Gamache's downfall?
