Welcome to Litsy!

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

(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

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 !

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.

Not my favorite #Gamache and plot was pandemic-related (and madness of crowds regarding support for terrible ideas/people) so not what I was in the mood for. But I am one step/book closer to being caught up now that bk 17 is in the rear view! This cover is beyond gorgeous.

Seriously - anyone with any sense should definitely avoid Three Pines. It does not matter how picturesque it is 😂

These books definitely push the boundaries of believability and the motivations of humans, and all the characters are that little bit *extra* including the too-perfect Gamache… and yet I can‘t stop reading. Delightful for a cold afternoon.

These are getting better and better! Our inspector is celebrating his anniversary out of town with his wife in a secluded place when a bad storm hits …. And of course there‘s a dead body. A rich family are the main suspects. And no one knows the inspector is a member of the constabulary until he‘s ready to solve the crime.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

My fav book of the series so far. I love Louise Penny's unique blend of "whodunit," mixed with character development, moral questions, actual history, and poetry. It's a seamless blend of so many genres into a fantastic fictional series.
