I reread this book because it was much too saccharine for me when I read it in 2017, and yet I wanted to get on the Louise Penny bandwagon. It’s nice to be emotionally invested in a good series.
I enjoyed the book quite a bit more in 2026. It was quite riveting, even though the writing at this stage of her career was a bit unpolished. I can definitely now see the appeal of her books.
