Still Life by Louise Penny is our book selected for discussion next month. Has anyone read this book? This award winning book is a murder mystery set in the village of Three Pines, Canada. It starts off with a dead woman in the first sentence, "Miss Jane Neal met her maker in the early morning mist of Thanksgiving Sunday." What an intriguing first sentence! Jane was 76 years old. We are introduced on page 1 to Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, a French Canadian in his mid-fifties, who is investigating the case. Page 2 flashes back to just before Jane was murdered and introduces us to her friends. Her dearest friend is Clara Morrow.
So far I am not finding it as interesting as the first in the series of Young Sherlock Holmes by Shane Peacock. I am pressing along because I am curious to find out why this lady described as a wonderful and gentle woman is a murder victim. I am also curious about what is inside her house. No one, not even her dearest friend Clara, had ever been inside.
This is the first in a series by Louise Penny. It has won all these awards:
