I define it as a literary murder mystery.Ĭhief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec, the provincial police force for the province, is sent back to the idyllic village of Three Pines to investigate a murder. It is a book that is entertaining (see above: murder mystery), but even more so it is a book that plumbs the psychological depths of we humans as we try to live and love and be happy.
It's also a story of love and betrayal, hope and horror, rebirth and death. But as soon as you see it's written by Louise Penny, you know it's no ordinary murder mystery.
