The Canadian writer Louise penny focuses her literary career in that mirror between reality and fiction where she goes to meet her protagonist par excellence Armand gamache. Few authors so faithful to a character in a bibliography delivered to the designs of a single and great protagonist during at least ten installments.

And yet the effect on reading Penny's novels may be the opposite. In a magical assumption of the already known, in the easy mimetization with the imperishable Inspector Gamache, any reader focuses more easily on the new cases, immediately obtaining a direct introduction, from the terrain of the known, to the greatest twists, mysteries and surprises.

The question is in the good work of the pen that puts black on white. And this novel demonstrates, once again, the genius and stamp of Louise Penny as one of the best authors of a purer and more ingenious detective genre, adapted to the demands of readers already more accustomed to noir.

Gamache enjoys his most deserved and long days off. The old virus injected into every police investigator seems increasingly tamed. until Clara Morrow appears with her disappearance case that looks more like a definitive abandonment of the separated husband.

But as soon as Gamache scratches on the matter, he discovers that aroma of the strange that every old policeman detects when tracking the lives of others. Peter, Clara's husband seems to have disappeared not only to not see Clara anymore ... His life devoted to the creator's bohemia and the unattainable dream of success and glory has led him to God knows what an abrupt end.

From the bucolic Three Pines, Armand Gamache will trace the path to meet Peter, alive, dead or on the run. Together with Jean Beauvoir, an old acquaintance, and Myrna Landers, the journey, the adventure and the challenge of facing the worst of the endings plunges us into a story that will leave us breathless as we discover how transcendent the matter of disappearance can be. of Peter.
