I Think This is the Start of a Beautiful Friendship

February 27, 2016 by Jenny S 3 Comments

I’ve been meaning to start the Inspector Gamache series by Louise Penny for the last year. Several of my friends are huge fans and reading their reviews on Goodreads made me sure that I would enjoy this series too. For Christmas, one of the themes of the gifts I got my sister was “first book in a series” and I ended up buying her a boxed set of the first three Louise Penny books. This, of course, meant that I could read them after she […]

CBR8 Reviews 5-7   I binged through the first three books in Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache series in about a week’s time. Unlike  my previous three book binge, this one was out of sheer pleasure. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is the head of the Surêté du Québec and he and his team are assigned to look into a suspicious death in a small town outside of Montreal called Three Pines. In Three Pines, we meet a cast of characters and most of the first book […]

I would never have predicted a double cannonball.

December 23, 2015 by faintingviolet 8 Comments

Ladies and Gents, welcome to my Double Cannonball review! I know! I’m surprised too! MsWas posted awhile back singing the praises of the Inspector Gamache series. I quickly started the series and fell in love with the main characters, setting, and pace of the mystery. I like to space out series when I can, so when I discovered that the second book in the series, A Fatal Grace, is set around Christmastime I knew I would chose it as my December Audible credit (the narrator, […]

You Will Love These Books, I Promise

Still Life by Louise Penny

August 12, 2015 by MsWas 8 Comments

Oh Cannonballers, my Cannonballers, you must read this series. MUST! I was waxing eloquent about Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache books on Facebook, and emmalita suggested I write a review. At first I said I couldn’t as most of my extra time is spent taking care of CBR-related tasks. But then I finished How the Light Gets In and it was JUST SO GOOD that I thought I had to break down and tout them to you. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is a homicide detective with the Sûreté du Québec […]
