Wow! Three Pines was beginning to become a bit complacent for me (aside from the murders), but this sixth book in the series was raw and heartbreaking. Penny did an excellent job of weaving the various stories throughout the plot line and giving the reader yet another facet of Quebec to feast our eyes (or ears if you're listening to the book) on. 
 I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue the rest of the series for a while, but now I wish I'd kept the next book instead of returning it to the library a couple of weeks ago!
