I think this is my favourite part about these books the humanity that Ms. The Chief Inspector finds murderers in a way that for the most part makes me feel so sorry for the perpetrator. The scenery is elegant, the characters become your friends, and the storylines aren’t “gimme” mystery endings.
For some reason, I expected this series to read sort of like a crappy romance novel (it’s possible I judged a book by its’ actual cover…) and it is SO not that. However, I am going to give grief to the fact that only ONE of the books changes the enunciation of Sylvain Francoeur’s name, which was just enough of a disjunction for my poor brain to rattle it around a little! I will DEARLY miss his voice in the coming books. Penny before his passing in September 2014. I have to give immediate recognition to British voice actor Ralph Cosham, who narrated the first 10 audiobooks for Ms. Not all of the cases are located in Three Pines one takes place in a remote monastery, another in the city of Montreal, but they weave together with Three Pines and those who call it home.
The innocent characters become allies and close friends to the Inspector, his lead assist Inspector Beauvoir, and the other core team members. Called into a small village called Three Pines to investigate the untimely demise of an elderly retired schoolteacher, Gamache and his team begin to unwind a cast of characters to solve a homicide.īut what begins as a homicide investigation in the village turns into a beguiling tale of a fantastical (and beautiful) location that cannot be found on a map. This is a different kind of summary, because I’m reviewing a large series, so I’ll give the gist!Ĭhief Inspector Armand Gamache has made some close friends, but also some true enemies on his ascent to his position with la Sûreté du Québec.
