I just finished Bury Your Dead by Louise Penny. As usual with Louise Penny's mysteries, I couldn't put it down. There are at least two mysteries to solve.
One happened in the previous mystery, The Brutal Telling. In that one, Olivier, who committed the crime, was sent to prison. His husband sends Gamache letters, every day, with questions. Eventually, Gamache sends his deputy, Jean-Guy to reinvestigate.
Gamache is in Quebec reading up on Samuel Champlain. Gamache is a history buff, especially French Canadian history. The little library that Gamache is doing reasearch in, has a murder committed in it. Gamache become involved.
While investigating, the horrific events that have plagued Gamache are revealed. We readers finally understand the anquish the Chief Inspector is going through. It all makes sense. Poor Gamache. It's a wonder he's sane.
I learned about Samuel Champlain and how Quebec considers him their founder.
People are complicated creations. N'est pas?
