2022: Came back to this again after the reading the first nine in the series. It's just as good as the first time and so fun to see details I didn't know the first time through.

Armand Gamache was not what I was expecting, but in a good way. He's older than I expected, with more experience behind him. Still Life bounced back and forth between perspectives - Gamache and Clara, usually - sometimes confusingly. Overall, an excellent read. I did not see the ending plot twist coming, though I did see Jane having changed her will, the painting having something to do with why she was murdered, the connection between Timmer and Jane, and the connection between the painting and Timmer coming. I think it would hold up well to repeated readings, each re-read revealing more of just how the murder was carried out and Gamache figured it out.
Minor: Death
