Book Nine of the Three Pines series featuring Inspector Gamache, the whole huge plot at the Surete is coming to a climax simultaneously with the death (murder) of the last of the famed Oullette Quints. Full of supense and intricacies, and…

About 90-100 pages prior to the end, I put the book down and said to myself (again), the author could have cut an easy 70-100 pages from this book... this is getting tiresome. Then at the physical end of the book it's slam, bang, thank…

I began this novel with high hopes, largely because of adoring reviews in various sources. I will try. Try to finish it. It's not the plot. The wildly unlikely plot. It's the sentences. The fragments. Sentence fragments. Everywhere. All…

This was my 9th Louise Penny book in the Inspector Gamache; although they have all been very good, this is my favorite so far! Ms. Penny is so skilled at coming up with fascinating ideas and keeps you "on your toes." I kept finding…

Probably the best of the Inspector Gamache series yet, in my opinion. Penny is a master at intertwining plots and she really outdid herself with this one. We finally come to resolution with the sub-plot that that has run through the…

Redemption and second chances is what comes to my mind reading this novel. I’ve often wondered if the author plotted each story at the beginning of the series since each book builds on the next so seamlessly. One of my favourite Gamache…

This book was different. There were two plot lines and the missing friend of Myrna seemed to be the lesser plot. The other plot line I thought was more dark and I did not like it as well; though it did close the plot arc on some previous…

I had always liked Penny's richly drawn characters and interesting historical allusions. I'm not sure this book had either. It was nice to see the satisfying conclusion to Jean Guy's arc. Hopefully, hopefully this is the end of the…

I admit I was late to the party when it came to reading author Louise Penny’s mysteries, but now that I’ve finished her ninth book in the series, HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN, I can officially declare myself hooked. Previously I noted that…

I have always been an avid reader, but, before joining a book club, I mainly read General Fiction. My wife, on the other hand, has always been a fan of thrillers/mystery novels. When I finished "How the Light Gets In" (I'm a big Leonard…

I am reading her books in order. Enjoying each. However, this one I laughed and cried. It is delightful, suspenseful and heart wrenching. First time I have ever cried reading a book!

I have now read three of her books but not in order, so there were challenges at time. After the first one i was confused by all the characters. I'm now getting used to them and even realized that one was a duck! There are delightful…

How the Light Gets In is the ninth in a series about Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. Though the book can be read on its own, reading the books from the first novel gives you the background story and the characters' interactions with each…

It was not so long ago that I read this, but I don’t have a strong memory of it — probably a result of my having read too many Louise Penny books in too short a span of time. Inspector Gamache was his usual wise and honest self, and was…

What a great novel where Penny takes the reader full circle and concludes a number of story lines with very emotional resolutions with Francoeur, Arnot and Jean-Guy. Even agent Yvette Nicol plays a minor but integral role in the…

After being devastated by the conclusion of " The beautiful mystery" the previous title in this wonderful series, this one is a joy and a relief for everyone who has come to love these characters. If you haven't read Louise Penny you have…
