Chronicle Conducive To Books The Brutal Telling (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache #5)
Chaos is coming, old son.
With those words the peace of Three Pines is shattered. As families prepare to head back to the city and children say goodbye to summer, a stranger is found murdered in the village bistro and antiques store. Once again, Chief Inspector Gamache and his team are called in to strip back layers of lies, exposing both treasures and rancid secrets buried in the wilderness.
No one admits to knowing the murdered man, but as secrets are revealed, chaos begins to close in on the beloved bistro owner, Olivier. How did he make such a spectacular success of his business? What past did he leave behind and why has he buried himself in this tiny village? And why does every lead in the investigation find its way back to him?
As Olivier grows more frantic, a trail of clues and treasures— from first editions of Charlotte’s Web and Jane Eyre to a spider web with the word “WOE” woven in it—lead the Chief Inspector deep into the woods and across the continent in search of the truth, and finally back to Three Pines as the little village braces for the truth and the final, brutal telling.

Chaos is coming, old son.Having been introduced to Three Pines, the fictional Quebec village close to the Vermont border, I have fallen in love with it and it's quirky residents. But as I read my way through the series their flaws and imperfections are being revealed. Like layers on an onion slowly being peeled back one layer at a time. In A Rule Against Murder we learned a bit more about Peter Morrow. In this fifth installment in the series we learn more about Olivier Brulé, the gay man whoDisappointingForest British Columbia, by Emily Carr, Image source digitaljournal.comAs much as it pains me to say this, I'm finding that the appeal of the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series is diminishing as I get further into it.As I said in my review of the fourth (and preceding) book, A Rule Against Murder (see the review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...), the series is starting to get a bit stale, formulaic and repetitive.Unfortunately, this often seems to happen with

The Hook Needed a comfort read after reading several brutal thrillers. Strange that this one has Brutal in the title but it was much less violent even with a murder in the plot.

It didnt grab me right away. As more and more was revealed about the murder victim I began to enjoy
Having read all of Louise Penny's previous novels about the perfectvillage of Three Pines and the amazing Chief Inspector Gamache I wasprepared to be vastly entertained by a witty, sometimes funny andintricately plotted mystery whose solution always lies in the hearts ofmen and the ability of Gamache to suss out what lies within.I was not prepared for this compelling and unflinching look into theheart of darkness that resides within us all. It is a universal truththat we can never fully know
