The Kingdom of the Blind

The novel «The Kingdom of the Blind» continues the series of investigations by Senior Inspector Armand Gamache. This charming character was created by the pen of Louise Penny, the only five-time winner of the Agatha Christie Award in the world.
Six... months ago, Armand Gamache was temporarily suspended from work, his future career in jeopardy, but the inspector's conscience is clear, and he enjoys this respite in the company of friends and family in the village of Three Pines. However, the holidays do not last long: the inspector receives a letter from a notary inviting him to come to a specified address. Gamache arrives at an abandoned house and discovers that he has been appointed executor in the will of an unfamiliar woman who worked as a cleaner while calling herself a baroness. Crazy? Why did she choose three strangers as executors of her last will in the presence of adult heirs? Shortly after the will is read, the abandoned house collapses, and under the rubble, the body of one of the heirs is found. «The motive is quite substantial. Murders are committed for even twenty dollars. And here we are talking about millions». So, the title and fabulous money are not just a figment? Meanwhile, another will dated 1885 is found in the notary archive, and the questions multiply... For the first time in Russian!
