Welcome to Litsy!

Starting this as my expendable travel read - I intend on leaving it on the plane or in the hotel. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Found on ky shelves, unknown when originally acquired, it fits a reading challenge I do every year: #WiaN #WhatsinaName #WiaN2024 category NFL Team (the subtitle features CHIEF Inspector Gamache! 🏈

I actually own this one and so it slipped in the pile some, it was finally time to read it. I was not disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed revisiting Three Pines and the wonderful characters in this series. I also love when real history is included in part of the story (in this case Dr. Cameron and his CIA funded human experiments at McGill). There are a lot of morality issues in this one and it would be a good choice for book clubs. 4.5/5

Chief Inspector Gamache, Agents Beauvoir and LaCoste, Clara, Peter, Ruth, Myrna, Gabri, and Olivier - I feel attached to the characters and Three Pines. In this one CC dePoitiers is murdered, and no one seemed to like her. Gamache is also working on a side case - to solve the murder of a homeless woman named Elle. Overall, very good read. ⬇️

(2009) Fourth in Penny's series featuring Quebec detective Armand Gamache. In this one, Gamache investigates murder at a forest resort where he & Mme Gamache celebrate their anniversary. Penny's mysteries strike me not so much as mysteries but as stories about being human that just happen to involve murder. This one is about families and how they feed and fail us. It made me squirm repeatedly.

This was my #BookSpin read for March
@TheAromaofBooks

Here are my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin picks for March, a couple of genre reads from authors who deliver consistently. Looking forward to both.

Thanks @TheAromaofBooks !

This one was just okay for me, but will continue on! #readyourkindle @CBee

These are my go-to re-reads when I can‘t concentrate on anything else. Considering a complete re-read of the series now that I know another one is coming this fall.

Another excellent Inspecteur Gamache mystery: set in Three Pines and exploring a painful family tragedy, with background narratives of both a flooding of the St. Lawrence river and internal conflict within the police force.
