Not sure where I should start with this #2 story in series.
I was pleased to see how the author (Louise Penny) has woven the characters in so the reader doesn't get confused with who is who. I myself could follow with ease and not have the characters be explained again. It was a nice smooth read. I didn't make too many notes/highlights. Surprisingly Gamache didn't come into story til later. It was good to visit the neighbors again of Three Pines. Makes you want to be part of the community.
Still don't like Agent Nichol. We find more about her. Did she know that her father was lying to her about Uncle Saul? Or is she setting up Gamache for some other reason? Like working with Brebouf of getting Gamache out?
Another character Lemieux seems like a good egg. At least Beauvoir is starting to think so. But is he working against Gamache?
Interesting take on CC de Postiers and her harsh way of living and looking at the world. It's a shame it comes down to what her mother did or said. On the flip side she does something to her own child. And her daughter, Crie takes matters into her own hands. Just to find out how The Three Graces protect that was done wrong.
Apparently there is this character Billy Williams. He is a minor character, but a major one just the same. Things he says are quoted by Gamache. And I read that he is woven into other stories.
The whole part of Gamache, Beauvoir, running into a burning house to get Agent Nichol was wild. Beauvoir losing it thinking he was trapped.
Was good to see that Gamache's wife, Reine-Marie is being more of an active character. Someone who Gamache can talk things out with.
Will be interesting to find out more about Gamache's old cases. Like he started to tell Reine-Marie about the Arnot case. He crossed that Blue line and told. One country is the same as others there is always a dirty cop somewhere.
As for how I feel about Fatal Grace another good novel. I give it 4 
I just felt it a bit long in the chapters
