About this listen
The discovery of a dead body in the woods on Thanksgiving Weekend brings Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his colleagues from the Surete du Quebec to a small village in the Eastern Townships. Gamache cannot understand why anyone would want to deliberately kill well-loved artist Jane Neal, especially any of the residents of Three Pines - a place so free from crime it doesn't even have its own police force. But Gamache knows that evil is lurking somewhere behind the white picket fences and that, if he watches closely enough, Three Pines will start to give up its dark secrets....
Coming soon: Book 2 in the Chief Inspector Gamache series, Dead Cold. Winter in Three Pines, and the sleepy village is carpeted in snow. It's a time of peace and goodwill - until a scream pierces the biting air. A spectator at the annual Boxing Day curling match has been fatally electrocuted. Despite the large crowd, there are no witnesses and - apparently - no clues.

Travel
2020 no travel, no exploring and unearthing adventures- what to do...
Loved the descriptions, the scene setting, the smells and the sounds. Being transported to this tiny village in Canada. Storyline different and compelling unlike the English mysteries I am normally drawn too.

Quirky writing but keeps you thinking..
Took a bit to get into the story but once I did it was entertaining. A bit "off the wall" but I'm now looking forward to the second in the series.

Kept me guessing until the end!
A very enjoyable story and great characters. Lots of plot twists to try and work out who did it.

Fabulous
Have been searching for a new series I can rely on to be intelligent, character driven and suspenseful. So glad I’ve found it. Was sad to say goodbye to the characters but downloading the next book as we speak. Excellent.

Loved it except for fat phobia
Really enjoyed the characters & a murder mystery with graphic violence. So many negative references about people in bigger bodies, which adds up to more than the views of a few of the characters. Disappointing.

Cosy Noir Mystery
I thoroughly enjoyed the warming setting of this small town mystery and the depth of each character. The lead detective is not the stereotypical obtuse genius, but a guide to the listener as he navigates this town as a stranger, like the reader, becoming a small part of it by the end.

Different, quirky
The plot was a pleasant departure from the norm. Though it started well, slow but steady, I felt towards the end the story got away from the author and we were left with some long winded explanations in order for the reader to believe what was happening.
I’m not interested in book2.
