Wow! This is my favorite of the series so far. I listened to the audio mostly and occasionally noted something in my paperback copy.
The title, the mystery, the character development, the interactions, the art, the references to light - all of it was perfect. Louise Penny writes about a topic - alcoholism - with compassion and care. Penny weaves important relational elements into her mysteries which elevates them greatly.
I love these people. I was thoroughly entertained by this novel as I moved about my home and town these past few days. Ready for the next one in the series and super happy that there are so many more to discover.
