Whoopee!
I started slowly, wanting to savor it.
I even got to a point where I thought, if this is the way it's going, I'm not sure I want to read any further.
Then a major change of direction (and there were all these flashback type explanations well done this time.) I didn't get confused about which time I was reading about, like has happened in a few of her earlier books. I had not paid enough attention to the where (names) or some detail that showed that this was in the past, or this was in the now.
SO...I finished it in 4 days. I had a whole day without anything scheduled. I won't say I stayed in my pj's but pretty close. I did move around for different sitting postures. I thought, maybe the last 20 pages I could put off till tomorrow.
No way! So I slept soundly that night, not a concern in my brain, because Gamache had once again prevailed against the forces of evil!
I've now watched the first four Three Pines episodes. A book is divided into 2 parts, or episodes. It's pretty close to the original stories, but the director/producer chose to focus on the Indigenous people's problems and I just don't remember that being the focus of the first 2 books. It was certainly in the background, but here if you look at the airtime given to it, it's almost more important than finding the murderer. Of course the murderers were related to the Indigenous people's problems, so maybe I'm just off track. You know I'll watch till the end of this season!
And I won't presume to put anyone else's quote here, and Louise's work is all copywrighted, so you'll just have to go read one of her books. I got my first 10 at the library.
