Review

“Penny’s absorbing, intricately plotted 13th Gamache novel proves she only gets better at pursuing dark truths with compassion and grace.” ―PEOPLE“Louise Penny wrote the book on escapist mysteries.” ―The New York Times Book Review“You won't want Louise Penny's latest to end….Any plot summary of Penny’s novels inevitably falls short of conveying the dark magic of this series.... It takes nerve and skill ― as well as heart ― to write mysteries like this.” ―Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post“Ms. Penny has a gift for linking the mundane to the mythic. Steadfast, civilized and grimly determined, Gamache becomes a heraldic figure, as brave and cunning as the hero of an Icelandic saga, and the contemporary evils he battles have apocalyptic overtones....[With a] cinematic finale, in which the book’s well-laid and carefully sustained suspense is at last released.” ―Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal“Outstanding....On all counts, ‘Glass Houses’ succeeds brilliantly, full of elegant prose, intricate plots, and―most of all―Penny’s moving, emotionally complex hero and his circle of friends and colleagues.” ―The Seattle Times“Penny―whose books wind up on Best Novels of the Year lists, not 'just' Best Mysteries―is a one-woman argument against literary snobbery....Top notch....Penny is a master of the slow burn, with readers only seeing the final pattern as everything is set aflame.” ―Christian Science Monitor“In the most intriguing installment yet….Louise Penny deftly combines crime and punishment, a timeless avenger and a dark exploration of the conscience….A great and twisting tale, as we’ve come to expect from the previous 12 Gamache novels, but also an exploration of moral judgments, mental frailty and the eerie notion of reckoning: We all must pay our debts…A profound story.” ― Minneapolis Star Tribune“Penny's latest is one of her best ever. From the very first page, when Gamache begins his testimony in a court case, the reader is riveted....I couldn't stop reading. This is the perfect holiday weekend book.” ―Margaret Cannon, The Globe and Mail“Gamache will face life-changing questions about the nature of guilt and innocence and the thin blue line separating law and conscience, leaving the reader contemplating these conundrums well after the final page has been turned.” ―BookPage (Top Pick in Mystery)“With grace and insight…Penny has pushed the boundaries of the genre with each novel, and ‘Glass Houses’ takes them still further. With an intricate and intelligent storyline, cherished characters, a setting that cries out ‘come live here’ and a terrifying climax, she produces another stellar literary novel. And she does so with compassion, decency and love as she depicts evil, exalts courage and neither flinches nor preaches as she confronts moral ambiguities―and the health and sickness within each soul.” ―Richmond Times-Dispatch“Louise Penny steers the complex plot… to a white-knuckle ending….If it is conceivable for Penny to top herself, she has done so in this soul-searching, psychologically insightful journey into each of her memorable characters.” ―Bookreporter.com“The tension has never been greater…A meticulously built mystery that follows a careful ascent toward a breaking point that will leave you breathless. It’s Three Pines as you have never seen it before.” ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“Three Pines is a sublime metaphor for the precariousness of harmony wherever we find it...one of the most entrancing fictional worlds in popular literature.” ―Booklist (starred review)“The award-winning Penny does not rest on her laurels with this challenging and timely book. Though touched by the evils of the outside world, Three Pines remains a singular place away from time.” ―Library Journal (starred review)“Penny’s poetic style of writing and her deeply realized characters, with their mix of flaws and heroism, make her novels irresistible….Penny delicately explores the tension of an officer who may be sworn to uphold the law, but who feels compelled to do something else, in a fascinating novel that is sure to appeal to a variety of readers―whether they typically enjoy mysteries or not.” ―ShelfAwareness“An exciting, high-stakes climax.” ― Publishers Weekly

My Review: As a proud Canadian I'm always on the lookout for 'new to me' Canadian fiction. I had had a lot of people suggest this series to me so I finally read the first book in the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series, Still Life, about a year ago. I was pleased to see a book set in Canada with a truly small town Canadian feel to its characters and setting.While I enjoyed Still Life quite a bit, this book is even better. The quirky and memorable cast of characters from Three Pines were back in this sequel that again has a uniquely Canadian feel complete with a small curling bonspiel, beautiful snowy setting and our requisite Canadian humour. Throughout the book there are snippets of French thrown in and anyone who took French in school should easily be able to read them but even without lessons it doesn't interfere with understanding the story line. I think it just brings a uniquely Quebecois feel to the characters. For those who struggle with the French aspects, Penny has a website where she gives the correct pronunciations of the French phrases/words to help her more detailed readers understand every word.One of the main differences that I found between Still Life and A Fatal Grace is that I found the mystery this time around much more compelling. A big reason for this is that I got to know the victim better before the murder. With the murder in Still Life we didn't really get to know the victim but in this book we see how truly horrid CC's personality was with her family and pretty much everyone she came into contact with. Seeing her 'sparkling personality' up front helped me to understand why someone would want to harm her. It never hurts to have the victim as someone who is so hated by pretty much everyone around her since it makes for many suspects.This book also had more of a CSI feel to it regarding how the victim could have been killed. I liked how I immediately got drawn into that part of the story as I tried to figure out the 'how dunnit' as well as figure out who could have set the wheels of murder in motion.One of the unique aspects of this series are the characters so I was thrilled to see that most of the townspeople were included in Dead Cold. I adore Ruth and her curmudgeonly attitude and her sarcastic bantering back and forth with her Three Pines neighbours. Gamache himself continues to be very strong and an extremely unique and well-rounded character. I also enjoyed seeing some of Gamache's team back, specifically one of the more troublesome members of his team.I do have some concerns regarding how this wee town can handle so many murders and still be realistic. Let's just say that if I lived there I'd probably pack up and move. But I was pleased to see the addition of another story line surrounding Gamache and his suspicions regarding some people at the Surete. It may help bring a breath of fresh air into the series but doesn't leave the reader with the dreaded cliff hanger either. I'm eager to see how that story runs its course and hopefully it will give the reader a better look into Gamache's life.In the end, Louise Penny has written an intelligent, often humourous and well written mystery series with truly memorable, quirky characters. It has a lot of heart and I'm excited to get back to Three Pines and get immersed in their issues once again.My Rating: 4/5 stars** This book review can also be found on my blog, The Baking Bookworm (www.thebakingbookworm.blogspot.ca) where I share hundreds of book reviews and my favourite recipes. **

I have read every Louise Penny and this one was her second most annoying. The rest are great. In this book she returns to the swirling miasma of evil theme. Everything is dark, dark, dark. But the worst of it is that just as she is about to reveal something, she moves away from that to something else where the people are as clueless as we are. I am currently at 84% and will finish it, but reluctantly. In fact, it just happened again that she almost revealed something, skipped to people who are unaware that they are surrounded by impending doom, and then she actually skipped back to another time frame, which was completely confusing. I'm sure that it is meant to increase suspense but in me it simply increases frustration.

During a cold November in Three Pines a dark mysterious figure - draped in black with a mask and never moving - appears in the green. Every day this figure is there - watching someone but who? Who’s wearing this mask and cape? Why is it there? Does it represent Death?Armand Ganache is now the Chief Superintendent of the Sûreté du Québec. He knows that legally he can’t do anything about that figure in the green. But that doesn’t stop him from being worried that something could happen. And yes, what he worries about happens - someone is murdered.There’s a lot going on here, with Gamache dealing with the murder and also with his duties as head of the Sûreté du Québec (as readers of the previous novels will remember that the Sûreté had a corruption problem that Gamache exposed.) The regulars from Three Pines are here (Gabri, Clara, Myrna, Ruth and her duck Rosa), though not as much as you’d expect considering that this is Three Pines. Unlike her previous novels, here the action switches between November when the incidents start and we see Gamache trying to determine who the killer is, and July, when the trial begins for the accused begins.This is a standalone novel. There really isn’t much information from previous novels that you need to understand the relationships. However, if you haven’t read any Armand Gamache novels, I recommend you start with her first novel - Still Life - to really enjoy the series.Reading a Louise Penny/Inspector Gamache novel is always a treat. Yes, there’s a lot going on but the author does a wonderful job of pulling it all together.So, why not 5 stars? I don’t want to say too much as much of the joy of the books in this series is how disparate plot points come together but I found myself frustrated that once again we have the clever Armand Gamache looking like he’s in over his head. I enjoy more complicated murder plots versus a simpler murder plot plus another story line. There were some plot points that seemed a stretch. (All I could think was "Really? This is all happening in Three Pines??") I thought this book was darker than some of her other books. I found myself putting the book down - needing a break from reading it.While this is one of those books that I’m glad I read, unlike some of the other books in the series, I don’t see myself reading it again.
