Why am I still reading this series? Inertia? There are currently 17 titles in the series, this is number 10. Penny takes paragraphs of descriptions and reuses them in a book (a number of times) and then uses them again in the next book,…

These books must be read from the first one onward or the reader will have great difficulty figuring out how the characters are related to each other and what their motivations are. For this book, I could have read the first 3 chapters and…

Louise Penny keeps getting better and better! I thought theclast one in this series was my favorite, but this one was so riviting and entertaining :). Louise has a way with words and descriptions that just makes you laugh, smile and cry.

This book goes nowhere and takes a long way to get there. Skip this book.

I knew there would eventually be a book in the series that was a little less of a page-turner than the others. The Long Way Home started out that way for me. I have come to love the characters, their quirkiness and delightful repartee with…

I appreciated this 'change of pace' story. Kudos to Penny.

The tenth book in the Gamache series explores one of my least favourite characters - Peter Morrow. The tension slowly builds and it was a delight to see Reine-Marie play an active role. Another solid story. Recommended

Oh boy. I am not sure if it was because it was a busy time but usually I can hardly put down a Louise Penny book. Unfortunately I am not sure if it was because I didn’t care about the storyline or just didn’t care. It was a much ado…

Oh my ... what a slog. A friend recommended Louise Penny to me and I hate to tell him that this was a big disappointment. Lots of pseudo-philosophical conversations which were boring and overly long, plus multiple descriptions of how…

Prob the WORST of the Gamache series I've read so far, and I've read several. This book is more a psychological boring journey than a decent murder mystery. I recommend you skip it in favor of the other Gamache books that are actual…

Someone described this book as "jumping the shark". It came close to that for me. To use another tv series analogy, it felt like a clip show for the entire first half of the book. There were still flashes of what originally attracted me…

A slice of art, a seasoning of love story; a bit of murder mystery; a sauce of pilgrimage and seasoning of Quebec and, voila, you have it. Easy to enjoy. This author has an immense readership. They must know something. One of those books…

Louise Penny writes a very detailed well linked plot which you can follow with ease and learn about Canada. This book was very descriptive of the St Lawrence River and communities, scenery on the long long way home. I found it a little…

The thoughts and introspection of the characters add to the depth of the story. Interesting reading, not only a mystery novel but also a story of relationships

OK. Not my favorite book in the series but it will not deter me from reading the next book in the series.
