Publisher Description

“‘A Better Man,' with its mix of meteorological suspense, psychological insight and criminal pursuit, is arguably the best book yet in an outstanding, original oeuvre.” —Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal

"Enchanting... one of his most ennobling missions." —Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review


Catastrophic spring flooding, blistering attacks in the media, and a mysterious disappearance greet Chief Inspector Armand Gamache as he returns to the Sûreté du Québec in the latest novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author Louise Penny.

It’s Gamache’s first day back as head of the homicide department, a job he temporarily shares with his previous second-in-command, Jean-Guy Beauvoir. Flood waters are rising across the province. In the middle of the turmoil a father approaches Gamache, pleading for help in finding his daughter.

As crisis piles upon crisis, Gamache tries to hold off the encroaching chaos, and realizes the search for Vivienne Godin should be abandoned. But with a daughter of his own, he finds himself developing a profound, and perhaps unwise, empathy for her distraught father.

Increasingly hounded by the question, how would you feel…, he resumes the search.

As the rivers rise, and the social media onslaught against Gamache becomes crueler, a body is discovered. And in the tumult, mistakes are made.

In the next novel in this “constantly surprising series that deepens and darkens as it evolves” (New York Times Book Review), Gamache must face a horrific possibility, and a burning question.

What would you do if your child’s killer walked free?

A Better Man

Great book, never saw the ending. Kept my interest the entire book…I will read another in the series.

A terrific read

As I continue to read every book in the Inspector Gamache series, I continue to be an in awe of how Louise Penny uses the detective genre to tell stories of the human heart. I think she’s brought me to tears in almost every book. Yes, one does need to suspend the notion of reality a bit, but great stories are not measured by their percentage of accurate data. Every one of her core characters, faces deep challenges, moments of weakness, and then even greater moments of humanity. These books are a joy.

THANK YOU LOUISE PENNY

Louise Penny is now my favorite mystery writer. Hope, once I’m finished with the book series, I’ll be able to enjoy another season on streaming of Three Pines, and watch a perfect choice of actors playing Inspector Gamache, Alfred Molina.
