I hope everyone who wanted to participate was able to enjoy a nice cozy mystery as we head into winter for the #OhCanada read. This is a light discussion on thoughts about the series and/or author.
A reminder that many read different books in the series so no spoilers please.

Jess861 I enjoyed my first adventure in Three Pines! Not sure I'll read all in the series but I can see myself picking one up every so often if I find myself in the mood for a cozy mystery. 2d

LapReader I‘m almost done with mine. So far not that impressed. 2d
lauraisntwilder We have a long drive "home" to see family for holidays. My husband and I usually listen to audiobooks on the road, typically hardboiled stuff like Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammet, that we both like. At Thanksgiving this year, we listened to Still Life and we did A Fatal Grace at Christmas. I didn't realize these were considered "cozy," but it makes sense. We enjoyed them. (Although we did listen to a Chester Himes on our way back!) 2d

The Black Wolf: A Novelmerelybookish Can you add me to the #ohCanada book tag please! 2d
Ruthiella I read the second book. I‘d read the first a few years ago. I don‘t hate them but I know they aren‘t for me. Somehow I am just not smitten with Three Pines and its residents. But I do appreciate how Canadian they are! Everyone wore a toque! 🇨🇦 2d
Jess861 @LapReader That's fair. I enjoyed Still Life but didn't love it. I don't really read to many mysteries though. 2d
Jess861 @LapReader which one are you reading if you don't mind me asking? 2d
Jess861 @lauraisntwilder I'm not really sure what constitutes 'cozy' lol. I'm not much of a mystery reader myself. 2d
Jess861 @kspenmoll I also posted a day early. Hope you enjoy the book! 2d
Jess861 @merelybookish absolutely, glad to have you join! 2d
Jess861 @Ruthiella I agree, I didn't fall in love with the characters. It is very Canadian!! 2d
PurpleyPumpkin As I read this book earlier this year, I was hoping to get to the second in the series in December. Alas, I did not. But I did want to say that I thoroughly enjoyed SL and found it to be a real page turner. The big reveal wasn‘t as gripping as I thought it would be, but I still loved the book. I‘m planning to continue with the series. 👍🏽 2d
Jess861 @PurpleyPumpkin I didn't guess who did it throughout the read so that was a nice surprise for me when I was reading. 2d
LapReader I‘m reading the grey wolf. Listening to his constant thinking that doesn‘t seem to get him anywhere is starting to drive me nuts. 2d
Jess861 @LapReader While I enjoyed the first book, after reading it, I've wondered how the series has made it to so many books. I enjoyed the first but I can't imagine almost 20 books centered around Three Pines and the Inspector. 1d
Kitta I skipped this time - too much going on and a reading slump in November where I didn‘t open a book meant I had a lot to catch up on. I‘ll join in again soon! 19h
kwmg40 I finished the latest book in the series, The Black Wolf, which I didn't like as much as earlier ones. I love this series because the fictional Three Pines is set where I grew up, and so I enjoy all the references to places I'm familiar with. Not all the books are great but a few have been brilliant. There is a lot of character development and continuing plotlines throughout the series so it's best read in order. 18h
