I did not enjoy "Fatal Grace" as much as I did her premier novel, "Still Life", which is excellent. I am annoyed when folks try to quote famous people but do not check their research; such is the case when Ms. Penny misquotes Mahatma Gandhi. I also do not like to have religion of any ilk pounded into me. Ms. Penny tries to drive in a belief in God at many junctures. Having said all this, for the most part, it was an enjoyable read.

A Good Read
Louise Penny is a top-notch author of mysteries.
This book carries on with the series and is an
excellent read and leaves me looking forward to
continuing on with the adventures of Armand Gamache. Love the setting in a small town in Canada with all the characters one comes to feel a close friendship with.

The whole series is amazing ....
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 ...
