The wallflower of her family and community. It was suppose to be Clara's final emergence into the world where she was not treated any longer as the person who could be interrupted, or ignored. Until a body is found in her garden after the big night. It was supposed to be the highlight of her career.

No, it is one to die for! Who would have thought that greed and jealousy would become the main features of this event. Not many people know where it is.Ĭlara Morrow finally gets her solo exhibition. The town was never surveyed it is no where to be found on any GPS or sat nav system. The only reason why it is known is for its murders. For such a small town, it is really riddled with violent deaths. Yet, after every book I still want to pack my bags and move to the murder capital of Canada, namely Three Pines. Let's face it, the series has become quite formulaic and the characters are all the same. I have no idea why I want to grab the next book in this series the minute I am closing the current one. As always, when I finish each book, I can't wait to get to the next one in the series. Ruth is waiting for something that may never come. Jean Guy is separated from his wife and realizes his heart has always been elsewhere. Clara and Peter's relationship has already been rocky and it is barely holding together. The deeper Gamache digs into this dead woman's life, the murkier the picture becomes. The morning after the party, a woman's body is found in their garden. Clara has had her first solo art show and the after party is at her home. Their latest case is the murder of a woman at Clara and Peter's home.

He's in great physical pain but he's also in great emotional pain. Although both Gamache and Beauvoir are back at work, Beauvoir is not doing well.

Several months ago, they were involved in a deadly battle with kidnapper/murderers and Gamache and Beauvoir were gravely injured and four officers were killed. Right now I'm concerned about Jean Guy Beauvoir, Gamache's second in command. The books are so interconnected that I wouldn't have wanted to miss one so far and don't want to miss the books I haven't read yet. It's the people that I care about, with all their warts and failings, but also their hope and kindness. That's the thing about the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series. I don't get it at all but then at the end of the book, all the sudden I do get it and I loved what I understood. There is a painting of Ruth, the foul mouthed, old, crazy woman and people are discussing with such awe, the dot in one of her eyes. I feel like such a kid when the characters are talking about art.my eyes glaze over. A Trick of the Light (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache #7)
