dugoutdug23 's review for:
A Rule Against Murder
by Louise Penny
Canadian Inspector and his wife are at a quaint French speaking wilderness Inn (or Manior as they call it) and are the only other guests there who are not related. The Morrow family is having a family reunion there and the author slowly unfolds each family member to the reader as well as several members of the staff. This book kind of reminds me of an old black and white film where a murder takes place at an isolated place and all the suspects are there and the criminal will eventually subtly reveal themselves. The book is peppered with French phrases, Bridge terms and overall several quotable lines such as:
"Eleanor Roosevelt rose; Not good in a bed, but fine up against a wall"
"I can resist everything except temptation."
"Never use the first stall in a public washroom."
"And of course her brain did not work. It had run away with her heart, the cowards, leaving her defenseless and blithering."
"So stop asking for what can't be given. And look for what is offered."
"The only thing that money really buys. Space"
I vacillate on what to score this book, but the more I thought about the book the more I liked it.
