And what other secrets and layers of lies are buried in the seemingly idyllic village?
Gamache follows a trail of clues and treasures a�� from first editions of Charlottea�TMs Web and Jane Eyre to a spiderweb with a word mysteriously woven in it a�� into the woods and across the continent, before returning to Three Pines to confront the truth and the final, brutal telling.
