A Rule Against Murder
by Louise Penny
Armand Gamache and his wife, Reine-Marie, are on vacation at an isolated resort known for its pampering and great food. It's their 35 anniversary. They get stuck in one of the lesser rooms because there is a family reunion -- the Morrows -- a repulsive family. There to celebrate the patriarch by putting up a statue in the garden. The last to arrive is Spots with his wife Claire who turn out to be friends from Three Pines, Clara and Peter Morrow. Many old grievances and grudges are brought out. Sister Julia is killed by the huge statue crushing her the night of the unveiling.
Gamache has to turn to the past to find the murder. Only when the child, Bean, is in danger do things come to a climax and Gamache must deal with his fear of heights.
Murder by the maitre d because Julia's incarcerated husband was the one who ruined the man's father. Chef turned out to be famous cooking nun.
Statue moved because sugar on pedestal made it easy to slide.
Good mystery. Sad to see so little of Three Pines but how many murders could you set in that tiny town.
