"Dead Cold" (published in the US under the less pleasingly ambiguous and less accurate title of "A Fatal Grace") surprised me by being qualitatively very different from "Still Life", the first book in the series. "Still Life" was a comforting, almost wistful, book in which a wise detective gently ...

I maybe said, don't leave me when I finished this book. I swear, the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series is becoming a fast favorite with me. We have Gamache reappearing in Three Pines again after the murder of a loathsome woman. I think that Penny, just like Christie, has a way for villains in he...

I liked this book marginally better than the first. I was used to the style of the audiobook narration, so maybe that had something to do with it. I also felt the characters were a bit more developed this time around. I was able to figure out who had killed CC - I had a few working theories, but ...

Series: Armand Gamache #2 I am done with this series. Maybe it gets better, but I just don’t think I have the patience to put up with it. That’s not to say that other people wouldn’t love this book; it’s just that it does a lot of little things that add up to a lot of annoyance for me. Penny did...

I finally picked up the second book in the Inspector Gamache series and I hate that I made myself wait so long (it's all about that damned book budget! *LOL*). Dead Cold was SO good! The team is back, even the ones we might not be so fond of. And the residents of Three Pines are back in all t...

This is the second in the Armand Gamache series, and I think it's safe to say that I am hooked. I enjoy the omniscient third person point of view that is a little less jarring now that I am used to it, and you have to give credit to an author who can make living in Canada in the winter sound appeali...

I was marginally less enchanted with this second installment of the Chief Inspector Gamache series than I was with the first, and I do mean marginally. The prose is still beautiful, the characters still real and engaging. My problem was that so much time was spent repeating things and dwelling on ho...
