Louise Penny has hooked me again with another great installment in the Inspector Gamache series. I was so excited when I opened the book and found I would be returning to Three Pines for a new murder and an old story line Penny has been dangling in front of me since book one.

From Cyndi's list on mystery books with a SMACK.
I can’t possibly have a best-of list that doesn’t include Louise Penny. Her Inspector Gamache series exudes such a joyous, hopeful, cozy warmth—even when they’re about premeditated murder.
How the Light Gets In is one of my very favorites because it at first seems like such a quiet, wintry book where subtle hints wink like sunlight on sparkling snow. But there’s something so much more ominous lurking beneath the surface and it leads to a truly shocking climax.

From Emily's list on atmospheric mysteries with twists I didn’t see coming.
Louise Penny’s entire Inspector Armand Gamache series is a treat. I’ve yet to read an entry that hasn’t touched me. Once you visit the fictional hamlet of Three Pines, you won’t want to leave. But this ninth book in particular highlights the way Penny’s broken characters strive to let the light in. In this book, the ever-insightful Chief Inspector Gamache maintains his integrity, kindness, and conviction while investigating a baffling murder and dealing with personal and professional betrayals that seem to grow ever larger. His unflagging courage is an inspiration.
