How envious I am of the person who picks it up for the first time and has the incomparable pleasure of meeting Inspector Armand Gamache. As you read, you discover the picturesque village of Three Pines, located outside Montreal but oh so many worlds away. And in Three Pines one comes face to face with many characters who inhabit the village with an alarming amount of murder and intrigue. With all their flaws, you root for some, chuckle at others and embrace them all like family. Enjoy.

“I've fallen in love with a charming rural village in Canada and with a most delightful man, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Surete du Quebec. Excellent characterization and plotting and a wonderful sense of humor make this a treasure to be savored. Don't miss it!”
