'Subtle, compelling storytelling at its elegant best' DAILY MAIL

Relentless phone calls interrupt the peace of a warm August morning in the small village of Three Pines in Quebec. Someone has managed to track down Armand Gamache, head of homicide, as he sits with his wife in their back garden. When he finally answers the call, his rage shatters the calm of their quiet Sunday morning.

That's only the first in a sequence of strange events that begin THE GREY WOLF. At first they seem small - a missing coat, a note for Gamache reading "this might interest you", a puzzling scrap of paper with a mysterious list - but then a murder. All propel Chief Inspector Gamache and his team toward a terrible realization. Something much more sinister than any one murder or any one case is fast approaching. A threat unlike anything they've seen before.

Critic reviews

The monkey business is highly entertaining and leads to a climax that would not be out of place in a James Bond movie

Subtle, compelling storytelling at its best

Superb (Will Dean)

A good listen

Another engaging book, romping to an exciting, intriguing finish. Excited for The Black Wolf. Superb narration by Adam Sims.

Back on form

Some of the recent books have been OK but this one is great. Really enjoyed this one.

cliffhanger warning

Once again a brilliant book from Louise Penny. It is full of twist and turns, and always have you wondering who can you trust. But be warned, it has a cliffhanger ending.

intriguing yet again
