In this short story Inspector Gamache is summon to the area of Three Pines because a body has been found hanging in the woods, an apparent suicide. But Gamache thinks otherwise. No identification on the body doesn't stop the police, his effects have been found in at the nearby B&B.
Investigation into the victim's history reveals motive as well as direction to the killer.
A fascinating short story that held all the same ingredients of Penny's full-length novels but not all the complexities.
