This series entry brings to a conclusion the narrative that began in Bury Your Dead. Inspector Gamache has two cases to solve. One case is the murder of the last remaining quintuplet born during the depression. The quintuplets are modeled on the Dionne quintuplets with a similar story except for the murder. The second case involves a plot being led by Gamache’s corrupt superior. I figured out who murdered the quint and there were a few non-sequiturs but it’s a fitting conclusion to the quartet within the series. I listened to the audio version which was well read except for the mispronunciation of “Rocket Richard”.
