Myrna, Armand, and Benedict meet the Baumgartner children, Anthony, Caroline, and Hugo, along with the notary, and tell them about her will, bequeathing money that doesn’t exist. In the Kingdom of the Blind, the Man with One Eye Is King (also titled Kingdom of the Blind) is a 1995 American crime drama film written and directed by Nick Vallelonga and starring Leo Rossi, William Petersen, Michael Biehn and Vallelonga. There are some funny sidelights, such as Honore’s first word, a fascinating bond between an elderly financial adviser and friend of the Gamache’s and Ruth, and a new relationship for Myrna. Her areas of specialization involve African and Caribbean literatures in French and English languages, Black women’s international writing and Translation Studies.

Most of the drugs have been rounded up since then, but one shipment remains out there, prompting Gamache, with scant backup, to venture into the drug-riddled underworld of Montreal. Part of the reason writing this installment was difficult is because she based the Chief Inspector Gamache character on her husband.

But I ran a raw compilation of what was in the Seattle database, and compared it to what DMS is reporting.

Writing clearly from the viewpoint of the upper class, this novel is a interesting window into the thoughts and feelings of the participants. It’s a technical feat, as likely to amaze five-year-olds as absorb over-intellectualised art lovers. Crotchety Ruth, the seemingly crazy but famous poet cracked me up so much I wanted to go bring her a scotch.

And then Beauvoir brings Katie to Three Pines, where she tells the story of how she met the Baroness, and introduced her to her grandfather, the Baron Kinderoth. It opens with all the characters I’ve grown to love in Three Pines, Quebec: Armand Gamache, of course, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, whom we have grown to also adore, Renn-Marie, Clara, Myrna, Ruth, Gabri, Olivier, Annie, and Honore.
