“A captivating, wintry whodunit.” ―PEOPLE
"A constantly surprising series that deepens and darkens as it evolves." ―Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
Kingdom of the Blind, the new Chief Inspector Gamache novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author.
When a peculiar letter arrives inviting Armand Gamache to an abandoned farmhouse, the former head of the Sûreté du Québec discovers that a complete stranger has named him one of the executors of her will. Still on suspension, and frankly curious, Gamache accepts and soon learns that the other two executors are Myrna Landers, the bookseller from Three Pines, and a young builder.
None of them had ever met the elderly woman.
The will is so odd and includes bequests that are so wildly unlikely that Gamache and the others suspect the woman must have been delusional. But what if, Gamache begins to ask himself, she was perfectly sane?
When a body is found, the terms of the bizarre will suddenly seem less peculiar and far more menacing.
But it isn’t the only menace Gamache is facing.
The investigation into what happened six months ago―the events that led to his suspension―has dragged on, into the dead of winter. And while most of the opioids he allowed to slip through his hands, in order to bring down the cartels, have been retrieved, there is one devastating exception.
Enough narcotic to kill thousands has disappeared into inner city Montreal. With the deadly drug about to hit the streets, Gamache races for answers.
As he uses increasingly audacious, even desperate, measures to retrieve the drug, Armand Gamache begins to see his own blind spots. And the terrible things hiding there.

Louise Penny vom Allerfeinsten
Louise Penny vom Allerfeinsten. Erst beginnt sie wieder ihren gemütlichen Strang mit unseren altbekannten Protagonisten in Three Pines. Dann schafft sie es wieder meisterlich zwei Handlungsstränge in einem Buch zu vereinen. Nichts ist wie es zu sein scheint! Und in den letzten 100 Seiten nimmt das Buch so rasant an Fahrt auf, dass man es nicht mehr auf Seite legen kann. Chapeau! Meisterklasse!
Egal wie viele Gamache Bücher ich lese, es macht einfach immernoch Spaß. Auch dieser Fall war wieder unglaublich spannend und es war toll, Theorien aufzustellen und zu rätseln, was passiert ist; nur um festzustellen, dass man nicht alles erraten hat. Nur die Nebenhandlung mit Amelie hat mir nicht gefallen, einfach weil ich ihren Charakter nicht mag, weshalb es diesmal nur vier Sterne gibt. Ich freue mich aber schon auf die folgenden Fälle und welche Geschichten Louise Penny sich noch ausgedacht hat.
