Illusion de lumière (Enquête de l'inspecteur Gamache #7)

The dream of a lifetime can turn into a nightmare when it comes true. At the opening of her first exhibition at the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, Clara Morrow is haunted by a bad feeling. Indeed, the day after the party in Three Pines, a woman is found with her neck broken among the flowers in her garden. Who was this guest that no one recognizes? Gradually, the picture of the crime takes shape and Chief Inspector Armand Gamache learns that in the art world, every smile conceals mockery, every kindness hides a broken heart. In this case, the truth is distorted by a play of shadow and light that creates illusion.

"A deceptively charming plot... Beneath every outburst of marital discord or professional jealousy lies a deeper truth about betrayed trust and the need to atone and forgive." The New York Times
