But Jean-Guy is moving to Paris and leaving not just the Sûreté but his time as a police detective behind. Particularly as the outgoing Homicide Chief is his son-in-law and former second-in-command Jean-Guy Beauvoir. It’s supposed to be a humbling experience for him, so humbling that he wasn’t expected to accept it. But this time his position is a demotion, as he had been Chief of the entire Sûreté, until his horrendous gamble nearly put millions of dollars of drugs back on the streets.
So, in spite of this being the 15th book in this marvelous series, it also feels like a great place for new readers to step into Three Pines and see what it’s all about.Ĭhief Inspector Armand Gamache, after the harrowing events at the end of The Long Way Home, is back where he began at the beginning of the series, Chief of the Homicide Bureau of the Sûreté du Québec. Just as the massive spring flooding brings massive destruction and wipes all away in its wake, so does the story in A Better Man sweep away what has come before it in this series and returns much (and many characters) back to the places where they began. What would you do if your child's killer walked free? In the next novel in this "constantly surprising series that deepens and darkens as it evolves" ( New York Times Book Review), Gamache must face a horrific possibility, and a burning question. Increasingly hounded by the question, how would you feel., he resumes the search.Īs the rivers rise, and the social media onslaught against Gamache becomes crueler, a body is discovered. But with a daughter of his own, he finds himself developing a profound, and perhaps unwise, empathy for her distraught father. In the middle of the turmoil a father approaches Gamache, pleading for help in finding his daughter.Īs crisis piles upon crisis, Gamache tries to hold off the encroaching chaos, and realizes the search for Vivienne Godin should be abandoned. Flood waters are rising across the province. It's Gamache's first day back as head of the homicide department, a job he temporarily shares with his previous second-in-command, Jean-Guy Beauvoir.
