The Cruelest Month is the third of the Three Pines, Quebec, mystery series featuring Inspector Gamache. It was published in 2008.
This book concerns the death of someone who collapsed and died during a seance. The cause of death is uncertain, so the Inspector and his group are called in to investigate.
During the investigation, he has to deal with personal problems that are caused by the enemies he had made within the Police Force previously, which affect his family. He also suspects that someone in his investigating group is on the side of his enemies, and is passing along information. But he still manages to direct the investigation.
I enjoy the various characters in this series, including not only the police officers and the villagers, but the family members that are also described. I also find the plots interesting and full of intrigue.
I will be reading more in this series--as soon as I can get some of my backlog of books to read a little bit more under control!
