Still Life by Louise Penny

2.0

I've tried this book twice now, and I just can't. I didn't finish it. The writing is good and the characters are interesting, but the author is just so ignorant about hunting and conservation. She writes as if hunters are complete bafoons who go out shooting anything that moves, and as someone who comes from a long line of hunters and conservationists, I was pretty offended. It would be one thing if it was one character who had this opinion of hunting, but no, the author is clearly trying to make a point with stating her own opinion of hunters, and as I said, her ignorance is showing. I might try the next book in the series, in hopes that it will be a straight-up mystery instead of a platform for the author's opinions.
