Review:

Impossible to put down * Globe and Mail * Penny's elegant style is deeply satisfying, while Gamache is contemplative even when under pressure, and remains a man you want to spend time with * Metro * Full of twists and turns . . . Wonderfully satisfying * Kate Mosse on How the Light Gets In * Louise Penny's writing is intricate, beautiful and compelling. She is an original voice, a distillation of both PD James and Barbara Vine at their peaks and a worthy successor to both * Peter James *
