This is a lot better than Harkin Nasser, although the plot in this one was a bit overloaded as there is a back plot about corruption in the Quebec (or is it Montreal) police department, which intersects with the main plot in Three Pines and we have 2 denouements following each other at bewildering, in fact I think excessive, speed.
I think this is a mistake as the reader (me anyway) lost focus, and Inspector Gouache appears to be some kind of super-detective, solving both plots pretty well simultaneously.
The underlying development of the Three Pines characters drives the books for me as much as anything, and they are also a little lost in all of this. The series now reminds me of Twin Peaks.
