But shadows are falling on the usually festive season for Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. Most of his best agents have left the Homicide Department, his old friend and lieutenant Jean-Guy Beauvoir hasn't spoken to him in months, and hostile forces are lining up against him. When Gamache receives a message from Myrna Landers that a longtime friend has failed to arrive for Christmas in the village of Three Pines, he welcomes the chance to get away from the city. Mystified by Myrna's reluctance to reveal her friend's name, Gamache soon discovers the missing woman was once one of the most famous people not just in North America, but in the world, and now goes unrecognized by virtually everyone except the mad, brilliant poet Ruth Zardo. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs events come to a head, Gamache is drawn ever deeper into the world of Three Pines. Increasingly, he is not only investigating the disappearance of Myrna's friend but also seeking a safe place for himself and his still-loyal colleagues. Is there peace to be found even in Three Pines, and at what cost to Gamache and the people he holds dear? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne of \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e's Best Mystery\/Thriller Books of 2013 \u003cbr\u003eOne of \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e's Top 10 Books of the Year \u003cbr\u003eAn NPR Best Book of 2013\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louise Penny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Minotaur Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312655471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Edgar Allan Poe Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Agatha Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Macavity Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Bea Big Book Guide\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2013 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/10\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2013 pg. 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2013 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2013 pg. 78 - Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2013 pg. 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/02\/2013 pg. 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/03\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/04\/2013 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLJ Best Books of Year\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2013 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLOUISE PENNY\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eGlobe and Mail\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling series of Chief Inspector Armand Gamache novels.
