Kingdom of the blind : a novel

Penny, Louise (author.). Bathurst, Robert, 1957- (narrator.). Playaway Digital Audio. (Added Author). Findaway World, LLC. (Added Author).

Summary: When a peculiar letter arrives inviting Armand Gamache to an abandoned farmhouse, the former head of the Sûreté du Québec discovers that a complete stranger has named him one of the executors of her will. Still on suspension, and frankly curious, Gamache accepts and soon learns that the other two executors are Myrna Landers, the bookseller from Three Pines, and a young builder. None of them had ever met the elderly woman. The will is so odd and includes bequests that are so wildly unlikely that Gamache and the others suspect the woman must have been delusional. But what if, Gamache begins to ask himself, she was perfectly sane? When a body is found, the terms of the bizarre will suddenly seem less peculiar and far more menacing.

    In the fourteenth Three Pines outing, narrator Robert Bathurst brings a world-weary quality to Chief Superintendent Armand Gamache while still capturing the character's steady, compassionate nature. Gamache is dealing with serious repercussions from his actions in the previous book. Meanwhile, he and another Three Pines resident have been named executors of a stranger's will, a situation that becomes more complicated when an heir is found dead. The secondary characters come from a wide range of backgrounds. Bathurst's accents can be inconsistent but his distinct voices--a gravelly growl for Ruth Zardo, a genial drawl for a young carpenter--distinguish the most memorable characters, and he imbues all of them with Penny's familiar warmth and humanity.
