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?

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
When Matt Ballard was starting out his career, three boys were murdered in the same area, the remote and bleak Gibbet Fen. When the main suspect was killed in a hit-and-run, the killings stopped. But Matt was not satisfied that the real murderer had been caught. Over 25 years later, Matt gets a photo in an unmarked envelope. It's of the Gibbet Fen crime scene. And the picture was taken before the murder took place. More photos arrive, relating to the historic murders, as well as intimate pictures of Matt's very secret private life.

Publisher's Summary
'Louise Penny's writing is intricate, beautiful and compelling' PETER JAMES
'Penny is a joy' IRISH TIMES
There is more to solving a crime than following the clues.
Welcome to Chief Inspector Gamache's world of facts and feelings.
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.
Chief Inspector Armand Gamache discovers a history of secrets and enemies in the dead woman's past. But he has enemies of his own, and as he is frozen out of decision-making in the police force, he has to decide who he can trust ...
Millions of fans worldwide.
One inimitable Chief Inspector Gamache.

Love this series of books but cannot stand the voice of the reader of this book. I wish I could just read it myself.

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.
