wvalice 's review for:
A Rule Against Murder
by Louise Penny
This was my favorite of all the Louise Penny books I’ve read so far.
Armaud Gamache and his wife, Reine-Marie, are celebrating their anniversary at the same lodge they have celebrated all the previous ones. While there, a family of grown children, their mother, and their stepfather arrive for a family reunion. None of them like each other very well, and no one else at the lodge likes them, except for the younger brother and his wife, who end up being Gamache’s friends, Peter and Clara. When one of the siblings end up dead, Gamache is pulled into the mystery.
What Penny does so well is to show the secrets that every person keeps, sometimes even from themselves. The human follies and failings that keep us from being divine. She does an excellent job at reminding us that everyone has something to hide.
