I really enjoy the story lines progressing the main characters; for me that is 4 1/2 stars. However, the ending in this book was a blah for me.... the author has to tie it up by the end so she did. But when I read it I thought the…

Another fascinating tale and peak into what mskes us human, the seventh book in the Gamache series takes readers on a journey to the art world. The art world is not, perhaps, what one would expect but it is fun to be carried off to…

A Trick of the Light is Louise Penny's seventh book, but for me it is my introduction to this author. Clara and her husband Peter are both artists residing in Three Pines, a village described as being remote and yet not far from the…

A friend recommended this author and series to me, and for some reason I didn't start from the beginning, I jumped in with this book. It wasn't what I was expecting. I thought it would be a cozy mystery, since it's part of series set in a…

one of the most boring books I have ever read, filled with cliche and after cliche.

Another good book, but I was sorry to hear that Rose had gone south. I hope she returns soon . I am not reading these books in order and it's a bit of a challenge to see how to put it together, but I still enjoy the books.

Another satisfying entry in the series, although a little confusing and a few too many coincidences. The writing is what I read Penny's books for, and to see how the residents of Three Pines evolve over time (as well as Armand and Jean…

Greed, jealousy, petty infighting, addiction, change and forgiveness are themes that Penny explores in this novel. There are lots of suspects each with motive and opportunity that keeps the reader guessing right to the end. Gamache,…

Always glad I've read the Inspector series in sequence, as Penney does a terrific job of building on the depth and background of each person even further as she works through the series. Terrific and believable characters. I very much…

Louise Penny is a great writer! I've read almost all of this series of her books, and thoroughly enjoyed them. There are lovely bits of humour, and many passages that really give you food for thought. Louise really holds your interest with…

This is my 3rd Louise Penny novel, so I can't say I haven't tried. What do people see in her? The writing is melodramatic. The characters, while colourful, are cliches (the wise chief inspector, the grouchy old woman, etc) And, most…

Another spectacular read that makes murder interesting and human, instead of only dark and twisted.
