The Cruelest Month: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel - Paperback

Description: The Cruelest Month: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel - Paperback - VERY GOOD Many mystery buffs have credited Louise Penny with the revival of the type of traditional murder mystery made famous by Agatha Christie. . . . The book's title is a metaphor not only for the month of April but also for Gamache's personal and professional challenges---making this the series standout so far. --Sarah Weinman Welcome to Three Pines, where the cruelest month is about to deliver on its threat. It's spring in the tiny, forgotten village; buds are on the trees and the first flowers are struggling through the newly thawed earth. But not everything is meant to return to life. . . When some villagers decide to celebrate Easter with a s ance at the Old Hadley House, they are hoping to rid the town of its evil---until one of their party dies of fright. Was this a natural death, or was the victim somehow helped along? Brilliant, compassionate Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the S ret du Qu bec is called to investigate, in a case that will force him to face his own ghosts as well as those of a seemingly idyllic town where relationships are far more dangerous than they seem. My first Louise Penny book and a reall good mystery. the complications of sophisticated and artistic people living in an isolated village in Canada provide a number of personal stories that could explain a mysterious death. Penny includes the very strong emotion and political tit-for-tat in the provincial police department, making the officers' behaviours even more complicated! dense in action and amusing at the same time - this is a captivating read!
