omg--that ending all but ruined this book for me. So unbelievable and melodramatic. And what's with this woman's obsession with her character's weight?
“Nature is talking to us all the time, it’s just hearing that’s the problem.” Favorite quote that I wanted to remember.
What can I say? I’m a sucker for Armand Gamache. That’s all there is to it.
I have come to love Louise Penny and her characters! They are like old friends.
Audiobook. What is wrong with this town? You think your neighbor is your friend, but they are actually a murderer.
Plot was less than gripping, but the sense of place, the character development, and the descriptions of both delicious food and complex human behavior keep me coming back to Three Pines long after I'd typically DNF a series like this. Really enjoyed the additional plot points about the Arnot case and looking forward to learning more about that as I continue in book #4. If you're looking for a cozy vibe and a book that reads more literary than page turning (at least in these early books), this series is for you.
The third in the series was... fine. I'll probably keep going with the series, but this one was a little dull and had a lot of elements that seemed too similar to book 2. Probably better to read these further apart so it's like returning to a cozy blanket each time.
The Cruelest Month brings us back to the town of Three Pines, a lovely village in south Quebec. One of the villagers has died from fright – or so it seems. Gamache is called in to investigate, and realizes that things may not be as they appear.
In addition to the murder, Gamache is facing a threat on the inside. Someone on his team is trying to bring him down for actions on a past investigation. As the reader, we know who is scheming against him, but Gamache is in the dark.
An excellent series, you can jump right into this book (the third in the series), or start at the beginning with Still Life.
