Brutal Indeed

The Brutal Telling by Louise Penny

September 18, 2021 by Jake Leave a Comment

Read as part of CBR13Bingo: Book club. I’m part of a mystery readers book club that goes through the Gamache series.  Whoo is the title accurate. Throughout the book, I had a sense of where it was going to go because I’ve read enough of this series and I’m aware of why it is so popular (handsome guy who everyone wishes was their dad blows into charming, rustic village to solve the case) to take the liberty of assumption as I pour through it. But I […]

Reacquainting myself with Armand Gamache – #16

All the Devils are Here by Louise Penny

February 19, 2021 by msvreadsbooks Leave a Comment

This is the 16th outing with Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, and we meet him and his family in Paris, instead of their adopted hometown of Three Pines, Québec. All of his children, children-in-law, and grandchildren now live in Paris. Armand and Rein-Marie are enjoying their time together in the city where they were engaged, and that includes spending a lot of time with Armand’s billionaire godfather, Stephen Horowitz. After dinner one night, Stephen is injured in a hit-and-run, and in trying to solve that crime, […]

“who hurt you once before, so far beyond repair”

The Nature of the Beast (Inspector Gamache #11) by Louise Penny

February 17, 2019 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

This is my first Inspector Gamache book without narrator Ralph Cosham. It took me a bit to get used to hearing Gamache’s voice in my own head without the aid of Cosham, but after ten books Cosham is Gamache’s voice for me and once I got started it all worked itself out. The tenth book, The Long Way Home, was a departure for both Penny and her characters and in some important ways this book is a return to form. We have at the core […]

Impending Doom

The Brutal Telling by Louise Penny

July 28, 2017 by Ellesfena 2 Comments

The fifth book in the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series, The Brutal Telling is a murder mystery that takes place in the small town of Three Pines, where a man no one seems to recognize has turned up dead in the local cafe. The Brutal Telling has all the hallmarks of the series: an outsider is murdered, the peace of Three Pines is shattered, Inspector Gamache bestows his beatific smile on those who deserve it and saves the day. But for reasons unrelated to the […]

A Gamache Novella

The Hangman by Louise Penny

March 31, 2017 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

A moment of fair warning: I did not enjoy this Gamache story very much. However, I have come to find out that it was written for a good cause, and I feel a bit of an asshat for not enjoying it. Louise Penny wrote the book for an initiative put on by ABC Life Literacy Canada, which aims to increase life literacy skills. The Good Reads program specifically aims to have inexpensive and short books anyone learning English or English speakers learning to read later […]

A Quebecois Poirot

Still Life by Louise Penny

July 28, 2016 by Ellesfena Leave a Comment

In the tiny town of Three Pines, the body of Jane Neal is discovered in the woods. Miss Jane was beloved by her neighbors, many of whom are her former students. It appears that her death was a hunting accident, but when Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is assigned to the case, he begins to think it may have been on purpose. There are few things in life that are cozier than laying on the couch under a blanket, reading a British murder mystery. Still Life […]
