The only author I read who always gets a 5 rating. If you choose to read this series, it's best to start at the beginning and get to know the characters.

I must have inhaled this novel the first time I read it because, in going back for a 2nd read - I need my Louise Penny hit regularly😁) I took more care and read more into the story line, especially the parent/child relationship between…

Don't read this if you haven't read the book yet!!! Fourth book in a series of 17. The previous books had been leading into police corruption. In this book we are at a secluded resort and the previous books don't really play into this…

It's a good thing you can't gain weight reading about delicious food. Chief Inspector Gamache and his wife of forty years are celebrating their anniversary at a Manoir Bellechasse, a hedonist's dream come true on a picturesque lake in…

Penny well in control - it was my first in the series but her sixth, so one hopes she's in control - set is established, characters too and they're moved through their places, nothing hurried, time for us to come to some conclusions and…

I was glad for a break from the business about the police corruption story arc.

Typical Inspector Gamache mystery, but this one seems a bit more cluttered up than previous ones I've read.

I know I'm in a minority on this series but this is the 3rd I've read and I just have to stop trying. The characters aren't realistic and the whole vibe is so...precious. This one was a little more tolerable because it wasn't set in…

I know I'm late to the party, but I'm really enjoying binge-ing Inspector Gamache!

A RULE AGAINST MURDER is the fourth installment of the Canadian mystery series by Louise Penny. This time most of the action takes place in a remote luxury lodge in the Quebec wilderness and not in the quaint and cozy village of Three…

I enjoy Louise Penny's writing, plot and character development. But this book stars a family where the mother didn't want to be touched, a father who didn't want his children to take things for granted, and children who had always tricked,…

I read Murder Stone 10 years ago and had forgotten the plot. The re-read was so enjoyable. The background to Gameche's character is all the more rich because we know him from later works. The dysfunctional rich family and the harm that…

I started Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache series recently, and really enjoy her writing. It’s fun to read a series set in Quebec, and her characters are interesting. This is the first book not set in the village of Three Pines. At a…

Fourth in the series and the best so far, possibly because it doesn't take place in claustrophobic Three Pines, but at a remote, claustrophobic resort on a lake during a Quebec summer. A dysfunctional, hateful family, resort folk with…

Louise Penny fans will love this novel and it is a good read but not her finest work and certainly not my favorite to date. The novel does move rather slowly and the motive for the murder may be believable but is also a bit far fetched.…
