ReviewsThere's always a log fire burning and it's always story time in the charming mysteries Louise Penny sets in sleepy Three Pines...While constant readers may think they know all there is to know about its eccentric villagers, Penny is a great one for springing surprises., Though Gamache is undeniably the focus, Penny continues to develop her growing cast of supporting characters, including newcomers Marc and Dominique Gilbert, who are converting an old house--the site of two murders--into a spa. Readers keen for another glimpse into the life of Three Pines will be well rewarded., Penny is a world-class storyteller. If you don't want to move to Montreal with Gamache as your neighbor--or better yet, relocate to Three Pines and be welcomed into its community of eccentrics--you have sawdust in your veins, which must be very uncomfortable., Ralph Cosham delivers a delightful accent for Gamache and invests all the characters with small-town likability. His droll presentation displays special empathy for the town eccentric, Anglophile Ruth Zardo, and her duck, Rosa. Dry wit and a love of language are evident in this well-crafted mystery. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award., Seasoned narrator Cosham...onceagain gives a mesmerizing performance that highlights Penny's lyrical,seductive prose, complex characterizations, and layered mystery...As usual,snatches of humor lighten the atmosphere, especially in scenes featuring acurmudgeonly, eccentric poet and her duck. This captivating performance of anexceptional mystery is guaranteed to touch our intellect, heart, and soul.

Synopsis"Chaos is coming, old son." With those words the peace of Three Pines is shattered. As autumn descends, and families prepare to head back to the city while children say goodbye to summer, a stranger is found murdered in the village bistro and antiques store at the center of town. Once again, Chief Inspector Gamache and his team are called in to strip back layers of lies, exposing both treasures and rancid secrets buried in the wilderness. No one admits to knowing the murdered man, who has kept his identity and his existence well hidden, along with an astounding legacy of cultural treasures. As secrets are revealed, chaos begins to close in on the beloved bistro owner, Olivier, whose past is unknown. How did he make such a spectacular success of his business? What past did he leave behind and why has he buried himself in this tiny village? And why does every lead in the investigation find its way back to him? As Olivier grows more frantic, a trail of clues and treasures--from first editions of Charlotte's Web and Jane Eyre to a spider web with the word "WOE" woven in it--lead the Chief Inspector deep into the woods and across the continent in search of the truth, and then back to Three Pines as the little village braces for the final, brutal telling.
