'Louise Penny's writing is intricate, beautiful and compelling' PETER JAMES
'Penny is a joy' IRISH TIMES

There is more to solving a crime than following the clues.
Welcome to Chief Inspector Gamache's world of facts and feelings.

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.

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache discovers a history of secrets and enemies in the dead woman's past. But he has enemies of his own, and as he is frozen out of decision-making in the police force, he has to decide who he can trust ...

Millions of fans worldwide.
One inimitable Chief Inspector Gamache.

Greatest Narrator

I love Adam Sims as Narrator for the inspector Gamache series from the pen of Louise Penny. He brings the story and characters to life! What a totally amazing experience it is for me. Each book gets more and more part of my daily most exciting time expenditure. Well done and hats off to this amazing narrator of these most amazing stories. I thank you.

Great story. Voice annoying.

I discovered that Adams Sims is replacing Ralph Cosham in this new edition. Narration is OK except for the French accent for all French speaking characters. I am from Montreal and I’m sure French Canadians do not speak English with this accent.

Great depiction of life in a colder clime

Another beautifully written book. A lot of laugh out loud moments for those familiar with life where winters and spring are often very cold and for people who live in areas or families where English and French are spoken equally. The fire scene was astonishingly well done. Once again the narrator has kept the language authentic whether people are speaking their own language or not.

A good story

Love these stories. Love the wacky characters and how their lives progress from book to book. Also love that they're set in Quebec. She's a visual writer and almost paints her scenes on the page (in your ear). The description of the Canadian winter is enough to set your teeth on edge, especially for those of us who live it. Only criticism is that the village seems a tad stereotyped, a bit like a Canuck postcard. But, life may actually be like that in the Eastern Townships. Highly recommend.

Merveilleux!

Tout aimé.
Ce serait bien d'avoir les romans audio de Louise Penny en français aussi.
