I felt a little cheated that the resolutions surround Gamache's protégé Jean Guy had taken place without me and that life has moved on without the reader being involved. Many questions that were left at the end of book nine have been answered in the opening pages of The Long Way Home. Where could this series go after such a ending? Spoilers ahead.

The crimes and mysteries are always intricate, well plotted and well written. Penny's lead character is Quebec Sûreté Chief Inspector Armand Gamache.
