Louise Penny didn’t publish this, her first book in the Inspector Gamache series, until she was in her forties. It was worth the wait.
I like the occasional mystery, but it’s hardly my go to genre. But I haven’t been able to stop reading these books, and I’m now on book nine in the series after starting just eight weeks ago (and launching a book in the process).
Still life drips with wisdom and strength. You’ll want to move to Quebec, drink a cognac or café au lait, and get warm next to the fire while reading this. You’ll probably also wish Inspector Gamache was your best friend, grandfather, and boss all at the same time.
All that to say, everyone should read this book.
Just a note that some of the links above are affiliate links. That means if you buy a book using the link above, a very small portion helps me pay my bills. That being said, I only recommend books I love, and this doesn’t change that. Thanks!
