Louise’s writing is always top notch, don’t get me wrong about that. I love intrigue–it’s my favorite genre so there certainly is enough intrigue here to satisfy. My concerns with this one, though, is the many red herrings. I mean how many false starts can there be in one adventure? I guess as many as the author wants, right? I just feel there are too many red herrings here that could have been combined or compressed. You know when I joined BCF here it was because I laughed out loud at the young police agent sitting outside the Gamache apartment after the break-in when she said one thing she never knew about the Chief was that he was nuts. I felt then I was in for a great story and I wanted to share that. (still missing our facebook group…) The second quote was when Armand thought after all the years looking after Jean-Guy, when had Jean-Guy began to look after him. It warmed my heart.
As for the “We’ve got a problem,” well I have to say I think it’s a cheap shot from Madame. I’m not even upset that we don’t have resolution. I don’t know even that i want to. I will bet others feel that way also.
