On a cold November morning, a jogger runs through the woods in the peaceful Quebec village of Three Pines. On his run, he finds a dead man hanging from a tree. The dead man was a guest at the local Inn and Spa. He might have been looking for peace and quiet, but something else found him. Something horrible. Did the man take his own life? Or was he murdered?

Story4 out of 5 stars 113
England, 1920. Eleanor Swift has spent the last few years travelling the world: taking tea in China, tasting alligators in Peru, escaping bandits in Persia and she has just arrived in England after a chaotic 45-day flight from South Africa. Chipstone is about the sleepiest town you could have the misfortune to meet. But then, from the edge of a quarry, through the driving rain, Eleanor is shocked to see a man shot and killed in the distance. Before she can climb down to the spot, the villain is gone and the body has vanished.

When Matt Ballard was starting out his career, three boys were murdered in the same area, the remote and bleak Gibbet Fen. When the main suspect was killed in a hit-and-run, the killings stopped. But Matt was not satisfied that the real murderer had been caught. Over 25 years later, Matt gets a photo in an unmarked envelope. It's of the Gibbet Fen crime scene. And the picture was taken before the murder took place. More photos arrive, relating to the historic murders, as well as intimate pictures of Matt's very secret private life.

Publisher's Summary
In the green depths of spring, morning breaks on a woman splayed in a bed of flowers - her eyes wide, her neck broken. Her death is a mystery; so is the woman herself. But as Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his team peer into the dark corners of the victim's past, they expose a secret that rots at the very heart of their community - a secret that will implicate someone they've trusted for years. And as Gamache knows too well, in the flickering shadows of death, the truth may be just a trick of the light.

The Art of Murder
Louise Penny sets this latest mystery amidst the seething resentments and insecurities of the Canadian art world. Once again Gamache seeks answers in the victim's past exploring in great depth issues of personal responsibility and whether or not individuals are capable of meaningful change.

Louise and Adam deliver again!!
Yet another spectacular installment in the Chief Inspector Gamache series! I love the regular characters, the new additions, the plot, the character development, and the weaving of extra story lines amongst the main plot. Adam Sims' narration is brilliant as always, and is in fact how I discovered Louise Penny - I was looking for audio books narrated by Adam! I enjoyed the references to the art world, and as a foodie I especially appreciate the detailed descriptions of French cuisine! Bring on the next book I say!!

Ok, but not her best
Narrator let the recording down by starting out with a plumy English accent for Gamache, and then at times lapsing into the one that he uses in all the later books I’ve listened too.
I must have only listened to later volumes as this one is set before Annie gets together with Gamache’s 2nd in command. I don’t like the pre Annie version of him
