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.

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?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 40
Carl Mørck used to be one of Denmark’s best homicide detectives. Then a hail of bullets destroyed the lives of two fellow cops, and Carl - who didn’t draw his weapon - blames himself. So a promotion is the last thing he expects. But Department Q is a department of one, and Carl’s got only a stack of cold cases for company. His colleagues snicker, but Carl may have the last laugh, because one file keeps nagging at him: A liberal politician vanished five years earlier and is presumed dead. But she isn’t dead...yet.

Sadly my last Inspector Gamache audio book .....
I have loved the Inspector Gamache series, downloading book after book continuously.
Listening ahead I hear that the narrator has been changed for future books. Adam Sims developed these characters perfectly and hearing his voice portray them has been one of the highlights of listening.
Bury Your Dead was a complex, beautifully woven telling of two different plots. As always I enjoy Louise Penny’s imagination and the building of characters so we feel like we know them.
Unfortunately I am put off by the change on narrator, it’s like changing the lead in Broadway show and expecting no one to notice.
Why would they do that?!?!
I’ve enjoyed the series to date and if I choose to continue I will need to read the remainder, hopefully hearing Adam Sims voice the characters I’ve grown to love come off the pages.
To the library I go.

Too many cooks
The energy it took to follow 3 storylines, one of which was a Dan Brown-esque journey into Québec history, was more exhausting than enjoyable. I missed the simple-mystery-set-in-the-small-town formula that drew me to this series.

One of the best of the series
I was so disappointed with the precious Gamache book, it seemed missing a few plot twists and felt improbable. This book made it all make sense, and the sensitivity about the trauma of Gamache, his family & colleagues was really well done without reducing the villains by dehumanizing them. Thoughtful, interesting and well written.

Compelling
This is my favourite entry in this series so far. I was compelled throughout by the unfolding of the traumatic event experienced by Gamache and Beauvoir, and their characters became deeper and even more realistic and endearing than in earlier instalments. Excited to see the ongoing unwinding of these events and how they transform the series

One of the best!
I’ve decided to read them in order, and recommend it. As an anglophone Quebecer I learned more about this history surrounding Quebec, and truly believe Penny does an exquisite job of capturing tensions, traits, etc., that are alive here. Really enjoyed the three plots at play. I’m biased as I’ve enjoyed all the books so far, but in this one I felt like I’ve started to get to know the main characters intimately. Onto the next! Bravo!

Louise Penny really outdoes herself with this novel in the series. She really does pull on every heart string and tug on each and every suspenseful nerve you might have. I couldn't wait to get to the end with this one.

Did not live up to expectations!
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
No, considered several times deleting it, but ploughed on. Read great reviews, but this book had way too much going on for me to keep track of. Might be better if read. Way too many characters - 25 - 30 people, probably about 4 or 5 main characters. Too many irrelevant side stories. Too much Quebecois history shoved down your throat, and I've even been there, so probably a bit more appreciative than the average listener. The history would be more acceptable if you were say a high school student in Quebec, but it's local history, and not really something outsiders have more than a passing interest in. It's almost like the book had a political statement to make as well because many Quebecois people want independence from Canada, and this was very very evident in the book, to the point where it annoyed me.
What could Louise Penny have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Cut out all the irrelevant side stories, and instead of their being two murder cases plus the police situation at the beginning, which continually reappeared throughout the novel (and this to-ing and fro-ing time wise threw me out on a few occasions), just stick to one thread.
This should shorten it, which it desperately needed.
Have you listened to any of Adam Sims’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No. But he was excellent I thought, and did the accents well.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No, hardly made it through the book.
Any additional comments?
Wish I hadn't bothered with it. Dragged on, and bored me for the most part.

Noooo, Wrong Narrator
Why would they not use Ralph Cosham to narrate this book. The major reason that I preferred obtaining Louise Penny book in Audible format is because of the magical quality of Ralph Cosham's voice gives to the stories. That voice lifts the story above being just a narrated story to being a gateway to Three Pines.
Although the story itself was up to the fantastic level that Penny always creates, the unexpected nature of Adam Sims voice (good in it's own right, but incongruant to the Three Pines Mysteries) made the overall quality of this audible edition disquiet.

Murder Mystery
This book left some questions unanswered until the end of the story. By doing this it keeps the reader engaged and guessing. I liked the setting of the story. The canadian content made the story more relavent to me. The author does a very good job of discribing the setting. You can feel the cold winter winds as you listen to it.

An excellent addition to the series.
Although I generally don't enjoy stories being narrated in parallel, it works here. And the tying-together of previous plot points worked, as did (my take on) the hints of further developments. Highly recommended, and looking forward to the next in the series.

Mixing the past with the recent past and present
Would you consider the audio edition of Bury Your Dead to be better than the print version?
I prefer audio
What was one of the most memorable moments of Bury Your Dead?
the final twists in an old case but the ongoing lead up to a terrible tragedy
What about Adam Sims’s performance did you like?
Love Adam Sims just started a new book with a different speaker and he's not quite got what Sim's has
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Bringing the past to the present
Any additional comments?

O My Gum shoes!
There is so much going for the series and after 4 books Louise really could have hit her stride.
It ia painfully repetitive.
A good editor would help..
