“There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.” —Leonard Cohen
This #1 New York Times Bestseller finds Chief Inspector Armand Gamache at a crossroads. Christmas is approaching in Québec—a season of dazzling snowfalls and blazing hearths—but shadows are falling on the usually festive season. Most of his best agents have abandoned the Homicide Department, his trusted lieutenant Jean-Guy Beauvoir won’t speak to him, and hostile forces are gathering strength.
When Myrna Landers sends word that a longtime friend has failed to arrive for Christmas in Three Pines, Gamache welcomes the escape from the city. But this is no simple missing persons case. The vanished woman was once one of the most famous people in the world, now recognized only by the mad, brilliant poet Ruth Zardo and a handful of others.
As the investigation deepens, Gamache finds himself drawn into the heart of Three Pines, seeking not just answers about the disappearance, but refuge for himself and his remaining loyal colleagues. Louise Penny weaves a masterful tale of loyalty, betrayal, and the cost of doing what’s right.
Critical Acclaim:
The ninth novel in the beloved Chief Inspector Gamache series, How the Light Gets In delivers the atmospheric storytelling and deeply human characters that have made Louise Penny one of the most cherished mystery writers of our time.
Penny's characters are so real that readers will be invested in their lives and conflicted about their choices. This is an outstanding addition to an already fine series.
Few writers in any genre can match Penny's ability to combine heartbreak and hope.
Penny has been compared to Agatha Christie [but] it sells her short. Her characters are too rich, her grasp of nuance and human psychology too firm... She's better than Christie.
Heart-wrenching... Penny is a master at blending the modern evils of greed and corruption with the historical roots of the region.
Terrific... The ending is a total surprise and a testament to Penny's ingenuity as a plotter.
Suspenseful and emotionally resonant... This is an intelligent, compassionate novel that will leave readers eager for the next installment.
