Another excellent book by Barabara Delinsky! Couldn't put it down. She's one of my favorite authors.

This is my favorite of this series. I have read it a few times and always come back to it. I love the pictures in the book series better than the original books.

Really enjoyed this book, especially the end. You know a book is me sinful when it makes you think and also brings you to tears!

This graphic novel series is amazing. I’m so glad it’s not exactly like the series. I’m really into this series.

Really enjoyed this book. Many different take always and it was outside of the norm of what I usually read. Recommend for almost any age group really. A good book club pick.

The images are breath taking. The story is enticing. Next read is the original text to get the full complexity of the characters. But the graphic novel is excellently done.

Such a cute story. It is part of a series. One I read the first book of and wanted more. It is stand alone if you only want to read this one. I really enjoyed the way the story unraveled - so sweet but still mysterious. Highly recommend for an easy read.

This is book 6 in the Armand Gamache series and I recommend that you read them in order, as some events carry over from previous books. This is an excellent police procedural series and I thank my s-i-l Julia for recommending this series to my wife and I. We both enjoy it. This book is one of the author's best that I have read so far and I rate it 4.5 stars rounded down. This book opens with Armand recovering both physically and mentally from events in the previous book. Armand is on medical eave from his position as Chief of the Homicide Surete(Quebec Provincial Police) team. He is drawn into investigating a murder that has taken place in Quebec City. At the same time he suspects that he may have made a mistake in his role in convicting a murderer from the previous book. He asks his #2 in the Homicide team, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, to re-investigate the crime unofficially. Jean-Guy is also on medical leave and agrees to do so. Both cases are solved with a satisfactory ending. Both men are starting to heal, both physically and mentally. I grew up in Buffalo, NY and I can remember occasional cold spells where the temperature dipped to below zero, once to -20F. M y parents and friends would always comment that "you know it's cold because you can feel the snow crunching underneath your feet when you walk." This book takes place in February in Quebec City, where crunchy snow is an every day occurrence and daytime temps go to -30(book doesn't say Celsius or Fahrenheit, but both are bitter cold). Some quotes: Describing the Literary and Historical Society: "It takes a lot of effort to halt time, and for the most part they've done it." Conversation between members of the Champlain Society: Rene: "I sometimes thinks that we are in a rowboat society." Jean: "A what?" Rene: "A rowboat. It's why we do things like that." He jerked his head toward the window and the dot on the river. "It's why Quebec is so perfectly preserved. It's why we're all so fascinated with history. We're in a rowboat. We move forward, but we're always looking back." I raced through this library book in 3 days.

This book was not as good as Uprooted was but it was still well written. It was written in multiple different view points, which I think added to the story but there were times when it was hard to tell which person was narrating the story. I've also found that while most of her plot lines are well developed, her romance plot lines are not. They feel out of place and like they just put that as an afterthought. It felt abrupt and unnecessary to the plot, and took away from the magic of the story. Overall though it was a good book, and it's good if you ignore the poorly written romance

A good story but very predictable. It does have some explicit sex scenes so it may not be great for everyone. It was good but not good enough for me to want to read the second book.
