amyradak 's review for:
A Rule Against Murder
by Louise Penny
Penny comes through with another novel that is the perfect balance between a page-turner and book I wanted to savor slowly. She set this novel at a historic Quebec lake resort instead of the town of Three Pines, which was a nice break. I was beginning to wonder how many more people could be killed in Three Pines without wiping out the town's whole population! But Penny still managed to weave some Three Pines characters in when two of the members of the family who has gathered for a reunion at the remote resort happen to be Peter and Clara Morrow. Peter's is a bitter, silently-feuding family, and one of his sisters ends up dead when a statue of their late father falls on her, crushing her. Of course, Armand Gamache just happens to be vacationing at the resort on an anniversary trip with his wife when this happens, and he switches from vacation mode to investigation mode. The case is a challenge, because not only do they have to find a killer, they have to figure out how a multi-ton statue could fall of its pedestal and crush someone. As usual, Penny wraps it all up nicely, and this proved another perfect read.
