The Times

'A splendid motive for murder, an attractive detective and some terrific atmosphere... An impressive debut novel'

CrimeSquad.com

'Gamache is certainly Quebec's answer to Morse with a soupcon of Poirot. Definitely a winner'

4.0 out of 5 stars Splendid, 22 Mar 2007
By Hugh Sutherland "hughs1206" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Still Life (Paperback)
Louise Penny has gone against the latest trends in modern crime fiction, blood, gore, forensics, post-mortems, shock tactics and has instead relyed on her talent as a good writer. This novel and author are a refreshing additon to the crime genre.

Her characters and setting are so well created that you can't help but get lost amongst the inhabitants of Three Pines.

The story is interesting and well thought out, with enough hints and clues to keep us guessing.

The only downfall was having to finish it but thnkfully there is more on the way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Look Beneath the surface, 12 Oct 2006
By G. W. Newman (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Still Life (Paperback)
This book well deserves its reviews by The Times etc. Whilst its is an enjoyable and easy read, lurking beneath the surface is a deep understanding of people, small places and crime. I look forward to more books from her.

1.0 out of 5 stars disapointing, 4 Jan 2006
Highly recommended by reviewers but I found this book very disapointing. Characters two dimentional and Inspector Gamache boring and pompous. In the end didn't care who had killed who or why.Agent Nichol who we were all suposed to dislike I actually had some sympathy with. She at least came across as human.

Being a Canadian, I enjoy books that evoke memories for me of times past in the old country. But I was a little disappointed as this book was sparse on describing the beautiful... Read more

The small Canadian village of Three Pines is peaceful, quiet, and cozy. Which is why the death of Jane Neal on Thanksgiving Sunday is such a surprise. Read more
