Armand Gamache returned to work at the Surete du Quebec to find animosity, not from his immediate colleagues, but from those higher up the ladder. A vicious campaign on Twitter has been instigated to destroy his reputation.
However there is work to be done especially as a severe flood alert has been issued for the region. There is also a crime to solve. A young woman has been reported missing and there are fears for her safety.
This is Jean-Guy Beauvoir's final case before he and his family start a new life in Paris. Once again the story centres around the small settlement of Three Pines where the inhabitants work together to construct a wall of sand bags to try and save the village from the rising flood waters. Clara's confidence has also been shattered by the barrage of Twitter hateful comments that are circulating about he art. As to be expected the inhabitants of Three Pines work together to support each other.
Like the other crime novels by Louise Penny this story is largely about people, their relationships and how they cope in good times and in times of stress. In this book the use of social media to inflict harm is also a theme.
