Review:
A delight
This series is becoming a real delight. I enjoyed the first one;
this, the second, was just great and I am now hooked.
Here, Gamache and
his team return to Three Pines in the dead of winter to investigate
the bizarre murder of a deeply unpleasant woman. The convoluted
means of the murder make the resolution of the story slightly silly
in the end, but by that time I didn’t mind one bit. Louise Penny’s
writing is so good and the characters she creates are so well done
that the details of the plot become secondary. The setting is
superbly done and the cold of the Quebec winter is so vividly evoked
that I almost began to feel it myself.
An enduring plot
strand begins to emerge here – as if I needed any more reason to
continue with this series. One advantage of coming to them late is
that I still have so many to look forward to and I shall definitely
be reading the lot. Very warmly recommended.
