I mistakenly read #2 in this series last December and decided to start from the beginning this December. Happily, I believe I have found a new series to explore. Chief Inspector Gamache and the bucolic community of Three Pines, Quebec, has enchanted and engaged me with an intriguing murder of a beloved member of the village, one whose death shatters all who loved her. I look forward to learning more about the characters and this enchanting town.
Amiable The books get better as the series goes on, too! 4w
dabbe @Amiable Ooh, that's good to know! 🤩😂🤗 4w
Librarybelle I agree with @Amiable . I love the series and am up to book 8, I think. I miss Three Pines and really need to pick them up again. 4w

Amiable @dabbe @Librarybelle Around book 4 (I think?) is when the larger plot thread starts to play out. I enjoyed each book/mystery individually, but the overarching narrative that carries across the entire series is even more compelling, IMO. (edited) 4w
Amiable @Librarybelle I‘m on the library waitlist for book #19 and I‘m very impatient! Everyone ahead of me needs to read faster. 😀 4w
Librarybelle @Amiable 😂 I like your comment about the overarching mystery. What really drives me to this series are the layers of info that Penny adds to them. I‘ve read Still Life a few times, and each time I pick up on another thread, another layer. She‘s an amazing writer. She‘s also an auto buy author for me, so I have the whole series waiting for me to read! 4w
Desha Yes this is such a great series! I‘m up to book 8 in reading all of them but I had to skip ahead and read her most recent one The Grey Wolf….wow so good!! She has gotten better over time!! 📚♥️ 4w
Mollyanna I agree with everyone, this is such a wonderful series. I am on book 4 and need to get back to it… 4w
dabbe @Amiable @Librarybelle @Desha @Mollyanna ... wow! Such intriguing comments! I'm on to my 2nd read of A FATAL GRACE and hope to continue on in 2025! 🤩 4w
staci.reads It's a great series! It gets better as it goes. I just finished books 14 yesterday. I'm trying to space them out and read one every few months. 4w
staci.reads @Amiable Agreed! Each book's plot is compelling enough to stand alone, but the arcing storylines and the character development makes it so much richer. 4w
dabbe @staci.reads This will be my big new series read for the year! 🤩😂🤗 4w
