A World of Curiosities by Louise Penny Book 18 of 18: A Chief Inspector Gamache Mystery

FIVE STARS!

This is the second Gamache mystery that I have read by Ms. Penny. Although I am mostly a thriller writer and reader, Penny has a way of pulling you into her stories like hypnotist on steroids. The past comes calling in this latest mystery, putting everything that Inspector Gamache holds dear at risk. What starts out as a quaint local mystery turns into a diabolical plan to hurt the Inspector.

The story is a collage of puzzles that only the meticulous Quebec Police Inspector can solve and this one has him stumped. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a slow burn mystery that has you guessing to the last page.
