Reviews
Penny has been compared to Agatha Christie, and while there is a surface resemblance there, it sells her short., Named one of Goodreads' Top 100 Mysteries and Thrillers "Remarkably, Penny manages to top her outstanding debut. Gamache is a prodigiously complicated and engaging hero, destined to become one of the classic detectives." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A traditional and highly intelligent mystery....sure to create great reader demand for more stories featuring civilized and articulate Chief Inspector Gamache.... Highly recommended. " -- Library Journal (starred review) Additional Praise for Louise Penny and the Armand Gamache Mysteries "The cozy mystery, which aims to charm as much as challenge, has a graceful practicioner of that artful dodge in Louise Penny." -- The New York Times Book Review "For all the perplexing mechanics of the murder, and the snowed-in village setting, this is not the usual "cosy" or even a traditional mystery. It's a finely written, intelligent and observant book. Imbued with a constant awareness of the astonishing cold, this perfect blend of police procedural and closed-room mystery finds its solution, as in the best of those traditions, in the slow unlayering of a sorrowful past." -- Houston Chronicle "Gamache, a smart and likable investigator--think Columbo with an accent, or perhaps a modern-day Poirot--systematically wades his way through the pool, coming upon a few surprises along the way....This is a fine mystery in the classic Agatha Christie style, and it is sure to leave mainstream fans wanting more." -- Booklist "This book is a small and perfect literary jewel. Penny is the best writer of traditional mysteries to come along in decades. I haven't read a book this beautifully written since A Thread of Grace by Mary Doria Russell." -- Kingston Observer "Very simply, I loved this book. I expect you will, too." -- Mystery Scene Magazine "There are portions of this book that are so beautifully written they stick with the reader for months....As I read this I thought if Emily Dickinson ever came back to Earth, it might be an a mystery writer." -- Aunt Agatha's Mystery Bookstore "The beauty of Louise Penny's auspicious debut novel, Still Life , is that it's composed entirely of grace notes, all related to the central mystery of who shot an arrow into the heart of Miss Jane Neal....The dear old thing had hidden depths, courtesy of an author whose deceptively simple style masks the complex patterns of a well-devised plot." -- The New York Times Book Review "Terrific. Like a virtuoso, Penny plays a complex variation on the theme of the clue hidden in plain sight. A winning traditional mystery." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Cerebral, wise, and compassionate, Gamache is destined for stardom. Don't miss this stellar debut." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A gem of a book....a beautifully told, lyrically written story of love, life, friendship, and tragedy." -- Booklist (starred review) "This cerebral mystery...is a rare treat." -- People Magazine "A perfectly executed traditional mystery." -- The Denver Post "Don't look for the hamlet of Three Pines anywhere on a map of the countryside outside of Montreal, although Louise Penny has made the town and its residents so real...that you might just try to find it." -- Chicago Tribune, "Penny has been compared to Agatha Christie, and while there is a surface resemblance there, it sells her short." -- Booklist (starred review) "[Penny] continues to deepen and modernize the traditional 'village mystery.'" -- People "Louise Penny applies her magic...giving the village mystery an elegance and depth." -- New York Times Book Review, "The cozy mystery, which aims to charm as much as challenge, has a graceful practitioner of that artful dodge in Louise Penny." --Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review "For all the perplexing mechanics of the murder, and the snowed-in village setting, this is not the usual 'cozy' or even a traditional mystery. It's a finely written, intelligent and observant book. Imbued with a constant awareness of the astonishing cold, this perfect blend of police procedural and closed-room mystery finds its solution, as in the best of those traditions, in the slow unlayering of a sorrowful past." -- Houston Chronicle "Very simply, I loved this book. I expect you will, too." -- Mystery Scene Magazine "This book is a small and perfect literary jewel. Penny is the best writer of traditional mysteries to come along in decades. I haven't read a book this beautifully written since A Thread of Grace by Mary Doria Russell." -- Kingston Observer "A cerebral, satisfying novel....it transcends genre, giving a thoughtful look at the human soul and the divine presence....A FATAL GRACE has a grace all it's own." -- I Love a Mystery blog "Gamache, a smart and likable investigator--think Columbo with an accent, or perhaps a modern-day Poirot--systematically wades his way through the pool, coming upon a few surprises along the way....This is a fine mystery in the classic Agatha Christie style, and it is sure to leave mainstream fans wanting more." -- Booklist "A traditional and highly intelligent mystery....sure to create great reader demand for more stories featuring civilized and articulate Chief Inspector Gamache.... Highly recommended." -- Library Journal (starred review) "Remarkably, Penny manages to top her outstanding debut.

Synopsis
Winner of the 2007 Agatha Award for Best Novel! From the Dagger award winning author Louise Penny comes the second Armand Gamache mystery set in the stunning countryside of Quebec. Welcome to winter in Three Pines, a picturesque village in Quebec, where the villagers are preparing for a traditional country Christmas, and someone is preparing for murder. No one liked CC de Poitiers. Not her quiet husband, not her spineless lover, not her pathetic daughter--and certainly none of the residents of Three Pines. CC de Poitiers managed to alienate everyone, right up until the moment of her death. When Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, of the Sûreté du Quebec, is called to investigate, he quickly realizes he's dealing with someone quite extraordinary. CC de Poitiers was electrocuted in the middle of a frozen lake, in front of the entire village, as she watched the annual curling tournament. And yet no one saw anything. Who could have been insane enough to try such a macabre method of murder--or brilliant enough to succeed? With his trademark compassion and courage, Gamache digs beneath the idyllic surface of village life to find the dangerous secrets long buried there. For a Quebec winter is not only staggeringly beautiful but deadly, and the people of Three Pines know better than to reveal too much of themselves. But other dangers are becoming clear to Gamache. As a bitter wind blows into the village, something even more chilling is coming for Gamache himself., Read the series that inspired Three Pines on Prime Video.

    The book was in excellent condition, as described in the listing, and was excellently packaged, arriving in unblemished condition. The shipping time was very quick. While the listing showed the book with a dust jacket, the book did not come with one. I brought this to the attention of the seller, who responded to me right away, and was satisfied with the seller's explanation. I have to say that the service was in every way outstanding.

    The book arrived swiftly packaged in a protective plastic envelope, but it was a paperback not hardcover as listed. I contacted seller and they apologized, refunded me and suggested several things to do with the book after allowing me to keep it. I have gone ahead and ordered a hardcover from the same seller. I’m a repeat customer and hope to remain so. This mixup was a first, but I’m very impressed with their prompt response and professionalism. Kudos :)
