Her will bequeathes this fortune to her three children, who all believe her to be delusional. A lineage and legacy that makes her extremely wealthy. However, Bertha Baumgartner swears to an ancestral background rooted in Vienna, Austria. Locally, the “Baroness” is known as a cleaning woman of modest means. Gamache, Myrna Lander, the village bookseller, and a young builder are all summoned to an abandoned farmhouse at the request of deceased Bertha “Baroness” Baumgartner to be the executors of her will. The first story line begins as a Three Pines local mystery. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, six months into his suspension from the Surete du Quebec, finds himself involved in two separate criminal investigations. For Penny fans, this read will be a welcome return to Three Pines, an inviting Quebeec village, and to its inhabitants.
