It is the community to which we all aspire, the group of friends to which we would all love to belong. Three Pines is at the heart of Penny’s creation. In the small village of Three Pines, where so many of Gamache’s investigations have led him and to which he and his wife, Reine-Marie, have now retired, Clara Morrow still waits to see what will happen when her estranged husband, Peter, returns after their year’s separation. However, those readers who have followed the series from its inception will be well aware that one loose end still remains dangling. In How the Light Gets In those forces were finally exposed for what they were and defeated, albeit at a terrible cost to the Chief Inspector himself. Throughout the earlier books in the series Gamache had not only to investigate the murders that came under his jurisdiction as Head of Homicide in the Sûreté du Québec, but also to do battle with the forces of evil that lay at the heart of the judicial and political establishment itself. In many respects, How the Light Gets In, Louise Penny’s previous novel about Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, tied up a plethora of loose ends.
