About this listen
The discovery of a dead body in the woods on Thanksgiving Weekend brings Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his colleagues from the Surete du Quebec to a small village in the Eastern Townships. Gamache cannot understand why anyone would want to deliberately kill well-loved artist Jane Neal, especially any of the residents of Three Pines - a place so free from crime it doesn't even have its own police force. But Gamache knows that evil is lurking somewhere behind the white picket fences and that, if he watches closely enough, Three Pines will start to give up its dark secrets....
Coming soon: Book 2 in the Chief Inspector Gamache series, Dead Cold. Winter in Three Pines, and the sleepy village is carpeted in snow. It's a time of peace and goodwill - until a scream pierces the biting air. A spectator at the annual Boxing Day curling match has been fatally electrocuted. Despite the large crowd, there are no witnesses and - apparently - no clues.

Sign me up for more Gamache!
This is my first Louise Penny experience, and won't be the last! I'm looking forward to catching up with Gamache in Book 2.

Great mystery series set in Canada.
I loved this first book in the series. The characters and setting feel familiar and the plot has twists!

It's her FIRST book
a little slow moving and it is difficult to keep all the characters straight. a little over the top....unnecessary detail s can be a bit much.

Wonderful narration
Great story. I have to strongly disagree with some of the reviews because I think the narrator did a superb reading. Will definitely check out the next book in the series and look forward to Adam Sims’ presentation.

A Canadian Surprise! Truly enjoyable!
I couldn't stop listening. Adam does an AMAZING job and Louise's writing is beautiful. I found myself invest in characters, hating characters and now I am off to buy the next book. Beautifully written. I may have figured out who the murdered was within the first few chapters but I thoroughly enjoyed the ride!

It was okay
The story was ok and got better later on but I didn’t feel engaged. One thing that drove me nuts was the change of accent of Gamache. Why was it British in one conversation and then québécois French shortly after?! I didn’t understand that. If he just switches accents whenever, then I don’t think I can read any of the other books in this series.

Excellent in every way
I couldn’t find a single flaw in the book. The characters are so well written, the mystery is very good and the narration was excellent.
I plan on reading all the books in this series.
