The Nature of the Beast by Louise Penny


I have just finished this 350-page tome, with total satisfaction from another successful Québécois (?) novel.

Chief Inspector Gamache has retired into the not so sleepy village of Three Pines, outside of Quebec.  But author Louise Penny just couldn’t let her Sûreté murder detective quietly retire.  2015 has brought us another novel in this fascinating and unique series.

I’ve lost count of the number of novels in this series, upwards of ten.  The count is important to genre lovers, who like to periodically “binge read” for weeks or months.  This is a good series for that sort of passion.

The family and friends of Three Pines are always central to the plot themes of a Chief Inspector Gamache novel.
