Death in Three Pines

A Trick of the Light by Louise Penny

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Clara has finally secured her first solo art show. She's worried about how well it will be received! Following the show, she and her spouse Peter host a party back at the charming village of Three Pines. Her show has been a runaway success and everything is going well - that is until a body is found in the flower bed of their home.
The novel is another Chief Inspector Gamache mystery with all the twists, turns and dead ends we have come to expect. Woven into the story are the continuing recoveries of Gamache and Jean-Guy from wounds they both sustained at the ambush at the factory that was featured in a previous storyline. Both men are still haunted by this awful incident, in particular Jean-Guy's struggle with medication dependency.
Penny has such a keen eye for details - in art, relationships, locations - it's so easy to be drawn into her diverse cast of characters.
