Mystery

The Long Way Home

by Louise Penny

Book 10 of the Chief Inspector Gamache series

Retired from the Sûreté, Gamache is living quietly in Three Pines when Clara Morrow asks for help finding her missing husband, Peter. The search leads through the art world and across Quebec as Gamache examines the choices that can turn creative ambition into isolation. His own recovery gives the journey a personal undertone without making the mystery merely symbolic. Reflective and autumnal, this novel suits readers drawn to art, marriage, second chances, and investigations shaped as much by longing as by evidence.
