My first Inspector Gamache story reminded me a great deal of the Georges Simenon’s Maigret series. Very much like Maigret, Gamache has a slow methodical and cerebral process to his investigation. His experience precedes him into this new (and quiet) residence which he and his wife are now living. And even though the local villagers are perplexed up to a breaking point, they don’t panic and act crazy during this “village harassment” situation until one resident is found dead and wearing the harassment-garment. The admirable residents start self-reflecting while others try to help the inspector out only to find out there is a more complex and globally sinister crime being undertaken.
