Inspector Gamache

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is a french canadian plying his trade for the Surité du Québec He is cut from the classic inspector cloth; A modern day Hercule Poirot of sorts. He is in deep love with his wife of 35 years, Reine-Marie and has very good detective skills.

He is a very real character who most readers can identify with. Although he is the chief inspector he often relies on his colleagues and most mysteries are solved by teamwork. This removes the cliché image of the all knowing, problem solving super sleuth and makes Gamache more acceptable as a realistic character. There is no doubt that Gamache is in charge, but he is not above admitting that he may need help.
