À propos de cet audio

Hardly a day goes by when nine-year-old Laurent Lepage doesn't cry wolf. From alien invasions to walking trees to winged beasts in the woods to dinosaurs spotted in the village of Three Pines, his tales are so extraordinary no one can possibly believe him. Including Armand and Reine-Marie Gamache, who now live in the little Quebec village.

But when the boy disappears, the villagers are faced with the possibility that one of his tall tales might have been true.

And so begins a frantic search for the boy and the truth. What they uncover deep in the forest sets off a sequence of events that leads to murder, leads to an old crime, leads to an old betrayal. Leads right to the door of an old poet.

And now it is now, writes Ruth Zardo. And the dark thing is here.

A monster once visited Three Pines. And put down deep roots. And now, Ruth knows, it is back.

Armand Gamache, the former head of homicide for the Sûreté du Québec, must face the possibility that in not believing the boy, he himself played a terrible part in what happens next.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"As Louise Penny explains in the introduction to her newest Chief Inspector Gamache mystery, Robert Bathurst had much to live up to when he was selected to succeed longtime narrator Ralph Cosham, who passed away last year. She listened to hundreds of candidates before selecting the British actor, best known to American audiences from "Downton Abbey." Be assured that her choice was right. Bathurst's pleasant light baritone and sensitive pacing suit the thoughtful series..." ( AudioFile)

I loved reading Penny's books; it was spellbinding to hear my first one read aloud.

Je suis passée au travers de ce livre en un rien de temps! Beaucoup aimé l’intrigue, et le nouveau lecteur est bon, ouf!

Excellent Gamache

I love Louise Penny's narrative, the decency and clear humanity of her characters, the natural way in which beautyful poetry blends with crime and ugliness is so human, so amazing.
The way the stories flow as the author lets us know her characters and their purposes in the story is enchanting, and whether I am listening or reading the stories, I cannot stop listening until all secrets have been revealed. Bravo!

Another excellent book by Penny. The characters are so excellent and the plot is riveting. I’m getting used to the new narrator. He handles the French phrases well. My one complaint is that he pronounces CSIS C.S.I.S. Instead of “C-Siss”. It’s too bad b/c the book is so well researched and it pulls me out of the story every time he says it.

So good - getting used to the new narrator

I really like how well researched the books in this series are but can’t figure out the narrator choice. The books lose their Canadiana appeal when the narrator doesn’t understand the references. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to finish the series with the new narrator. Adam Sims was the best of the 3.

Wrong choice for narrator

I loved the Adam Sims readings. Hated the other British guy (can’t remember his name). I was very worried for this change but apart from Bathurst not knowing that in Canada we call CSIS “see-sis”, which was fairly annoying at first but I got used to it, he actually did a fine job. Each character had a voice and personality of their own and I never got confused by who was talking (This happened a lot with the other guy). I can’t wait to listen to the next one and I am not dreading the narrator!!

Not disappointed

I love these books. Adam Sims is by far my favorite narrator, I wish he had narrated all of them

Great book

Penny weaves another beautiful Three Pines tale with threads of Canadian history and detailed characters.

What drives someone to kill? What does it take to get past that little voice that tells us 'thou shalt not...'? Money? Self-preservation? Jealousy?

The nature of murder...
