About the Books
This five-book run marks a pivotal stretch in Louise Penny's series, as Armand Gamache recovers from a harrowing raid while leading investigations that ripple through tightly bound communities. In Bury Your Dead, Gamache retreats to Quebec City to heal, only to be pulled into a murder tied to centuries-old grievances.
