(1 review)

It is Winter Carnival in Quebec City. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache has come not to join the celebration but to recover from an investigation gone wrong. But death is inescapable, even in the Literary and Historical Society, where an obsessive historian's quest for the remains of the founder of Quebec, Samuel de Champlain, ends in murder. Could a secret buried for 400 years be so dreadful that someone would kill to protect it?

Some History in Your Murder Mystery

3 stars

I wanted to read more mysteries. Slowly making my way through The Inspector Armand Gamache series, mostly in winter. This strengthens a sense of continuity between the books and offers history lessons on Quebec; the long-standing tensions between French and English Canadians. If it wasn’t clear before, Gamache is not infallible, and we see the large-scale and deeply personal effects this has on him and others around him.
