Book: Still Life by Louise Penny

Still Life (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, #1)Still Life by Louise Penny

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I would give this book more than 5 stars if there were more. I an new to Inspector Gamache but I loved him. I loved the inspector, the mystery, the odd little town and the residents. The mystery was first rate... not too much info at a time but enough to drive me to read and read and read... and read it all in one day. There is more to it than that - there are life lessons, deep ones, poetry, art... I already ordered the second one and can't wit until it arrives.

I liked everything BUT Gamache in this book. The plot, other characters, the setting... I wanted to like the main character too but I found him needlessly mean to his subordinate. And making her more and more insecure and unwilling to make her own decisions, instead of supporting and guiding her.
