"This series is by no means all fictionalized sweetness & light, there is a strong streak of realism combined with likeable (some loveable) but humany flawed characters. Once started difficult to put down ..."
"Another great mystery by Penny. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache returns to the small village of Three Pines after a truly odious woman is murdered at a curling match. All of the secondary characters from his team join him here including Jean Guy Beauvoir, who shows a particular hidden depth in this story. Also back (unfortunately) is the hideous Agent Yvette Nichol, who I was secretly hoping would get bumped off before the end of this book. Alas, she lives. What I enjoy the most about Penny's books are her wonderful characters. Not all are perfect, or even likeable, but all are real. And Gamache is a wonderful character, a gentle man who is thoughtful, intelligent, clever, and has a great love of people and life. There is a bit of confusion as to a particular plot thread at the end, but I think that was deliberate and a set up to continue the next book in the series to find out what happens. And of course, I shall."
"This is the second in Louise Penny's Three Pines series. I read it straight through and enjoyed it even more that Still Life. it was good to revisit the ongoing characters and to meet the new ones. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his wife are especially wonderful. The plot was strong and interesting as well. Because i enjoyed the book so much, I bought The Cruelest Month (now reading) and A Rule Against Murder, the next two books in the series. It will be sad to finish, like saying goodbye to good friends."
"Still very intriguing to follow the main mystery to be solved and the snippets of the detectives' own mysteries of life...also intriguing to learn more about curling. Looking forward to #3.
Started the day feeling grumpy...but snatched a fifteen minutes to read during breakfast and finished the book and refound a positive mood before being confronted with a rainy inside day with 18 (2 absent from 20)preschoolers...maybe Gamache lent me some optimism, but no lemon meringue pie!"
