About this listen

'No one does atmospheric like Louise Penny' ELLY GRIFFITHS
'Altogether extraordinary' WASHINGTON POST

There is more to solving a crime than following the clues.
Welcome to Chief Inspector Gamache's world of facts and feelings.

It's Easter, and on a glorious Spring day in peaceful Three Pines, someone waits for night to fall. They plan to raise the dead . . .

When Chief Inspector Gamache arrives the next morning, he faces an unusual crime scene. A séance in an old abandoned house has gone horrifically wrong and someone has been seemingly frightened to death.

In idyllic Three Pines, terrible secrets lie buried, and even Gamache has something to hide. One of his own team is about to betray him. But how far will they go to ensure Gamache's downfall?

Millions of fans worldwide.
One inimitable Chief Inspector Gamache.

This is a SUCH a great series! Not only interesting and thought provoking, but cerebral on an academic, poetic level! I would REALLY like a copy of Ruth’s book of poems (but might give Odeille’s a miss)! It would be nice if was eventually made available to buy…

The house has taken on its own character and I like that other character’s personalities are also revealed there too! Onward to the next one.

The Plot Thickens!

I'm going through this outstanding series written by Louise Penny.

The setting and the characters are outstanding.

There's nothing like a good murder to get your teeth into

Wow! What a rollercoaster ride.
Penny keeps you guessing until the very end as to who the murderer is.
But the true wonder is Three Pines and its people.

Another fantastic tale!

This was so enjoyable. It’s so well written, likeable characters and Adam Sims, wonderful as ever. The end of each book, so far, has the start of the next in the series (some with different titles). I’m not keen on this in audiobooks nor actual books. It’s disappointing when you think you have a certain amount left to enjoy only to find you’re suddenly near the end!

Better and better!

Perfect listen!
