Wonderful points Susan and Tara. I thought Gamache and Jean Guy’s internal monologues were the best in Still Life and they have remained the best throughout the series in my mind, although Clara is a big part of this story and future ones as well. I see Yvette as one of LP’s original villains in the Surete. There were others to follow, and although they are all quite despicable in what they do, LP always tries to make them all a bit more human and sympathetic. Although not overly so. I thought it interesting that in Still Life LP laid the groundwork for future stories so well in what she reveals with Clara and Peter and Olivier and Gabri (to a lesser extent.)
