This book is another in Louise Penny’s series featuring Armande Gamache. Gamache is easily one of my favorite fictional detectives. He and the regulars of Three Pines have definitely become a part of my world.
Kingdom of the Blind should not be read before reading Glass Houses. See below for my review of that title. This story in some ways follows directly on that earlier book.
A lot goes on in and I kept me turning the pages while putting off things that needed attention. There are old wills, financial schemes, murders, drugs, relationships and the many ways in which people can be blind.
How well do we really know those around us? Some of the characters in this book will find out. What does one do to fight evil? How do people make moral and amoral choices? How do we care for others? These are some of the big themes that readers will ponder, all while reading a fast paced story.
You cannot go wrong by reading Louise Penny. Perhaps start in order and then keep going!
