Book 7- Excellent story.KIRKUS REVIEWSchadenfreude descends on the Quebecois village of Three Pines.Clara Morrow?s solo exhibition at the Musee d?Art Contemporain in Montreal has been a long time coming. And although some seem pleased for her success in middle age, others, including a school friend turned vitriolic art critic, a gallery owner and even her husband Peter, an artist himself, wrestle with their envy. The day after the showing, back in Clara?s garden in Three Pines, Lillian Dyson, former critic, current A.A. participant and Clara?s vituperative ex-friend, lies dead of a broken neck. Armand Gamache, heading up the Suret??s homicide division, and his second-in-command Jean Guy Beauvoir (Bury Your Dead, 2010, etc.), are called on to investigate. They soon realize the case pits sobriety against drunkenness, appearance against reality and good changes against bad. Moreover, Gamache and Beauvoir have their own demons to exorcize, stemming from a catastrophic police raid, physical and emotional rehab and a marriage that never should have happened. With suspects and old slights vying to be uncovered, it becomes difficult indeed to find ?some measure of peace in the small village.?Penny, elevating herself to the pantheon that houses P.D. James, Ruth Rendell and Minette Walters, demonstrates an exquisite touch with characterization, plotting and artistic sensitivity. And there could be no better explanation of A.A. than you will find here.
In her sly fashion, Penny has given us fair warning not to trust the antics of Three Pines’ eccentric residents and colorful visitors. Behind each volatile outburst of marital discord and professional envy lies some deeper truth involving the betrayal of trust and the need for atonement and forgiveness. With his sensitivity to the dark side of human nature, Gamache is not one to be distracted by the comical antics...

Absolutely fantastic. The best in the series so far. Penny's books are such a delight to read. Far more than just regular "whodunnits" Penny's books explore the depths of human relationships, history, spirituality, pain, forgiveness, and so much more.
The bad news is that this is the 7th book in the series, and this is a series which really does need to be read in order so you can't just jump into to this one if you're looking for a good book. The good news is that the series itself is a delight. ( )
