I am hooked on the Three Pines Mystery series by Louise Penny set in the village of Three Pines in French-speaking Canada. I have read Still Life (book club selection in October) and Fatal Grace and am waiting for the arrival of The Cruelest Month from a library.
In Fatal Grace, the author tells us in the very first sentence who was going to be murdered. I believe the same thing happened in Still Life, I remember for sure that the reader knew who the victim was from the first page. The characters in the series are all quirky which I love. Three older women were introduced in this novel; Bea, Em, and Kaye. Grumpy Ruth the poet, Clara and Peter the artists, and Myrna the black retired Psychologist who owns a book store seem to be constant characters. There is some trouble stirring with Inspector Gamache and there seems to be a traitor in his entourage so I am continuing with the series to find out more. I am eager to know if someone is going to die in Three Pines. I don't think this little village can stand another murder in its midst.
On another genre, I just heard about this new Sci-Fi book on kindle by first time author, Jennifer Fales. I am not a big Sci-Fi fan but I did enjoy The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood. I started Oryx and Crake by the same writer but could not get into it.
