Story
On a cold November morning, a jogger runs through the woods in the peaceful Quebec village of Three Pines. On his run, he finds a dead man hanging from a tree. The dead man was a guest at the local Inn and Spa. He might have been looking for peace and quiet, but something else found him. Something horrible. Did the man take his own life? Or was he murdered?

After a tumultuous period in American politics, a new administration has just been sworn in, and to everyone’s surprise the president chooses a political enemy for the vital position of secretary of state. There is no love lost between the president of the United States and Ellen Adams, his new secretary of state. But it’s a canny move on the part of the president.

Story
Relentless phone calls interrupt the peace of a warm August morning in Three Pines. Though the tiny Québec village is impossible to find on any map, someone has managed to track down Armand Gamache, head of homicide at the Sûreté, as he sits with his wife in their back garden. Reine-Marie watches with increasing unease as her husband refuses to pick up, though he clearly knows who is on the other end. When he finally answers, his rage shatters the calm of their quiet Sunday morning.

Story
A prominent financier vanishes before bedtime, without his clothes. Hours later, a corpse is found in a bathtub wearing only pince-nez eyeglasses. When it’s determined that the body is not that of the financier, it’s up to amateur detective Lord Peter Wimsey to uncover the naked truth. As the part-time sleuth investigates what these men - one dead, one missing, both starkers - have in common, the pieces of two puzzles converge, and the case becomes more dangerous by the clue.

The year started badly and only got worse - blizzards, strikes, power cuts, and political unrest were the norm. For journalist Allie Burns, however, someone else's bad news was the unmistakable sound of opportunity knocking, and the year is ripe with possibilities. But Allie is a woman in a man's world. Desperate to get away from the "women's stories" the Glasgow desk keeps assigning her, she strikes up an alliance with wannabe investigative journalist Danny Sullivan. From the start, their stories create enemies.

Loved the book the first time with Ralph
All these books are so amazing, the characters so rich, and I loved it so much the first time I listened to it. My sister wanted to do a buddy read so I jumped on Audible, hit purchase and settled back for the comforting voice of Ralph. It was jarring when Adam's voice came on. I think he could do a fine job on something else and it's also because I associate Gamache with Ralph, but I just couldn't finish this. I didn't even make it 1/3 of the way through and I'm returning it. I can't recommend the Ganache series enough, and it seems for those who hadn't heard Ralph or Robert read then they might enjoy Adam.

A bit predictable
Still a compelling book that I found excuses to listen to. Can't quite get past the fact that Det. Gamache's accent started out Quebeçois, and became English halfway through. The narrator really screwed that up - of all the characters to get right, the main character is kind of important.

I can’t wait to hear more from inspector Gamache and the people of this village. And the narrator is perfect - I feel like I’m there!

French or english
I loved this book. I really like this series as I am from Montreal so I can relate to places the characters go. But, why does the narrator give Gamache sometimes a french accent and sometimes a British accent?? Pick one please!

My new favourite mystery series
I love spending time in Three Pines. A charming setting with fully realized, flawed yet lovable characters, complex villains, and a nuanced plot that keeps you guessing. The reader is excellent. He does convincing accents and gives each character a unique, well-fitting voice. He voices women like they are people rather than high pitched caricatures, which is not always the case with audiobooks. This book and the first in the series were a joy to listen to.

Surprising endings. You catch me every time.
I am enjoying the continuation of the characters as well as their growth. I am of French catholic descent. I wish the accents and foods were more from my backgrounds but we must be from different areas. Having said that, it’s closer than most books and audio books I have listened to. I am enjoying these well enough to have started at the beginning and will continue through the series. Thank you Penny.

Narrator
The narrator could not keep a consistent accent for Gamache! Very annoying - sometimes it was an English accent; mostly it was a French one.

Excellent
The only negative are the derogatory descriptions of the Anglo in the story. I know it's done to capture the culture of the region but wonder at the double standard as it would not have been tolarated If it was said of Frankophones in, say, Alberta.
