Here in Three Pines, the cruelest month is going to make good on its warning. Welcome.
In the little, abandoned town, spring has arrived; tree buds are opening, and the first blossoms are pushing their way through the recently thawed ground. However, not everything is intended to come back to life...
In an attempt to purge the town of evil, a few locals plan to celebrate Easter with a séance at the Old Hadley House. That is, until one of their guests passes away from fear. Was the victim assisted in any way, or was this a natural death?
Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, a kind and intelligent member of the Sûreté du Québec, is called in to look into a case that will test his mettle and have him confront not just the ghosts of an apparently perfect town but also the dangers that may arise from relationships.
