Summary
The number-one New York Times best seller.
A detective. As a fierce, unrelenting winter grips Quebec, shadows are closing in on Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. Most of his best agents have left the Homicide Department and hostile forces are lining up against him.
A disappearance. When Gamache receives a message about a mysterious case in Three Pines, he is compelled to investigate - a woman who was once one of the most famous people in the world has vanished.
A deadly conclusion. As he begins to shed light on the investigation, he is drawn into a web of murder, lies, and unimaginable corruption at the heart of the city. Facing his most challenging, and personal, case to date, can Gamache save the reputation of the Sûreté, those he holds dear and himself?
Evocative, gripping and atmospheric, this magnificent work of crime fiction from international best-selling author Louise Penny will stay with you long after you turn the final page.

Very exciting and enjoyable
Loved it as always. Gripping, scary, loving and caring. I really do like Louise Penny 's descriptive wording, I always feel as though I have watched a video.

Twists within twists
Intrigue, mystery and suspense interweaving amazing description of flawed characters into superb storyline. How the author is able to have foreseen where these characters would be 7 books ahead and to bring them altogether is amazing.

Fantastic, as ever
Plotting, drama, angst, characterisation - all utterly brilliant. The intricacies and the detail of the story and the stories within the story are so compelling. The final few chapters had me sitting down to do nothing but listen. And of course I had a little cry too :)

Gripping
What did you like most about How the Light Gets In?
This is the most gripping of all the nine Gamache books. I could not bear to switch off and cannot recommend it highly enough.
