About this audiobook
When an intricate old map is found stuffed into the walls of the bistro in Three Pines, it at first seems no more than a curiosity. But the closer the villagers look, the stranger it becomes.
Given to Armand Gamache as a gift the first day of his new job, the map eventually leads him to shattering secrets. To an old friend and older adversary. It leads the former Chief of Homicide for the Sûreté du Québec to places even he is afraid to go. But must.
And there he finds four young cadets in the Sûreté academy, and a dead professor. And, with the body, a copy of the old, odd map.
Everywhere Gamache turns, he sees Amelia Choquet, one of the cadets. Tattooed and pierced. Guarded and angry. Amelia is more likely to be found on the other side of a police line-up. And yet she is in the academy. A protégée of the murdered professor.
The focus of the investigation soon turns to Gamache himself and his mysterious relationship with Amelia, and his possible involvement in the crime. The frantic search for answers takes the investigators back to Three Pines and a stained glass window with its own horrific secrets.
For both Amelia Choquet and Armand Gamache, the time has come for a great reckoning.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Louise Penny pulls back the layers to reveal a brilliant and emotionally powerful truth in her latest spellbinding audiobook.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another excellent addictive book by Louise Penny. What I really like about this series is the historical content. I have learned a lot.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Her best one yet in the series! It has everything...murder, intrigue, a mystery-within-a-mystery, love, hate, all the wonderful people of Three Pines, and, of course, fabulous food!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The author, Juliana Buhring, brings us the true story of how she coped with the loss of her lover. Instead of her grief crippling her, she turned it outward and ended up becoming the first woman to circumnavigate the globe by riding a bike. The truly inspiring part about her story is her not having ANY training and had never done anything like this before. Juliana brings us along and introduces us to the people she met along the way, the hardships she incurred, and shows us how strong her spirit is. This is a moving story and I imagine people of all ages would get inspiration from it.***I received this book through Goodreads Member Giveaway. The opinion is solely my own.***
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutley heart rendering and wonderfully funny. Loved it so much.
