Summary

On a cold November morning, a jogger runs through the woods in the peaceful Quebec village of Three Pines. On his run, he finds a dead man hanging from a tree. The dead man was a guest at the local Inn and Spa. He might have been looking for peace and quiet, but something else found him. Something horrible. Did the man take his own life? Or was he murdered?

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is called to the crime scene. As Gamache follows the trail of clues, he opens a door into the past. And he learns the true reason why the man came to Three Pines.

This is a short audiobook for people on the go.

Why a different narrator after all these years?!

Shame…. It’s a good short story. A nice little excursion to friends in Three Pines… but the narrator spoils it. After years of great narration - how sad.

This is NOT the next in the series

This is a novella written as part of a literary campaign - disappointing this was unclear.
