I just love the characters in Louise Penny's Inspector Gamache novels. Though I find the "head hopping" a little irritating, I accept that it allows me to see what's going on in each character's mind, so it works.
This story of betrayal and forgiveness is intense, emotional and enormously satisfying.

Another author first for me…I know what is wrong with me! I wish Three Pines was real and I could meet all of the residents.

Each character is endearing, even the foul-mouthed Ruth, and reaches into the heart of the reader. I look forward to getting to know them over the numerous books in the series.

This book isn’t as dark as I typically read; however, the mystery of who the caped person on the golf course was, why they were there, and the side mystery of the history of the town had me losing track of time.

Forget walking…

From N.L.'s list on thrillers you won't want to put down.
