The Murder Stone

In the height of summer, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his wife, Reine-Marie, arrive at the luxurious and isolated Manoir Bellechasse in Quebec to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Their peace is soon interrupted by the arrival of the wealthy and dysfunctional Finney family, who have gathered for the unveiling of a memorial statue dedicated to their late patriarch. As a stifling heat wave culminates in a violent storm, a body is discovered on the hotel grounds. Trapped at the remote inn, Gamache must peel back the layers of the family's long-buried secrets, bitter rivalries, and hidden hatreds to identify a killer among the elite guests and the hotel's own staff. Originally published in the US as 'A Rule Against Murder', this fourth installment in the series is a classic drawing-room mystery in the tradition of Agatha Christie.
