The reason I read "How the Light Gets In", is because I read Louise Penny's book before this one. I had to know what happened to Chief Inspector Gamache and Inspector Jean-Guy Beauvoir. Book # 8 left me hanging. I just had to follow up and read # 9.
Louise Penny did not disappoint. Gamache's back was against the wall. His department was gutted. His friend, Jean-Guy was alienated from him. Gamache finally just resigned--literally. It maybe, forever, but I have to read the other mysteries to find out.
In this one, Gamache has to go into hiding. Of course, Three Pines is the place. Gamache's supervisors, and even the premier of Canada, are all in cahoots against Gamache. They were making a lot of money by not doing the construction work they should have done. Structures were going to collapse.
Fortunately, Gamache's plans pan out and the good guys win, again. I love happy endings.
