How the Light Gets In by Louise PennyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Christmas in Three Pines. What a peaceful and truly wonderful setting at Christmas! And all of our favorite Three Pines residents are front and center. This is the 9th book in the Inspector Gamache series by Louise Penny, and I wanted to read it before Christmas.
This is definitely one of her best books that I've read so far. There's a lot of heartbreak, trauma and suspense -- ranging from the murder of an elderly woman with ties to Three Pines to the dismantling of Gamache's detective team. Armand isn't sure who he can trust in the Surete de Quebec, which leads to new liaisons. All of this is balanced with holiday preparations, food, friends, quiet contemplation and introspection.
Penny's writing is always a joy to read. She has a wonderful mixture of literary descriptions, dialog, and humor. This book references events from previous books, and I would recommend reading her books in order to fully appreciate the ongoing story lines.
