Reviews
"Riveting...with characters of incredible depth who only add to the strength of the plot." - Library Journal (starred) "This complex novel deals with universal themes of compassion, weakness in the face of temptation, forgiveness, and the danger of falling into despair and cynicism over apparently insurmountable evils." - Publishers Weekly (starred and boxed) "A compelling mystery and a rich human drama in which no character is either entirely good or evil, and each is capable of inspiring empathy." - Booklist (starred) "A chilling story that's also filled with hope--a beloved Penny trademark." - Kirkus (starred) Additional Praise for Louise Penny and the Armand Gamache Mysteries "Penny sustains her high-wire act, creating characters of remarkable depth in an exhilarating whodunit." -- People "Louise Penny is unsurpassed at building a sense of heart-stopping urgency." -- The Charlotte Observer "Penny, who raises the bar with each entry in this superb series, has always mixed murder and corruption with issues of morality...[S]he does so with her accustomed talent for a gripping plot, rich characterizations, arresting prose and thought-provoking questions of mercy, malice and the contradictions of the human race." -- Richmond-Times Dispatch "This series dominates best-seller lists and award lists for a reason. Penny tells powerful stories of damage and healing in the human heart, leavened with affection, humor and - thank goodness - redemption." --Salem Macknee, Charlotte Observer "Penny writes with grace and intelligence about complex people struggling with complex emotions. But her great gift is her uncanny ability to describe what might seem indescribable - the play of light, the sound of celestial music, a quiet sense of peace." -- New York Times Book Review, #1 New York Times Bestseller #1 Globe and Mail Bestseller New York Times Book Review 10 Best Crime Novels of the Year The Washington Post Best Mystery Books and Thrillers of 2016 NPR's Best Books of 2016 Seattle Times 10 Best Mysteries of 2016 Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction 2016 Publishers Weekly Best Mysteries and Thrillers of 2016 Winner of the 2016 BookBrowse Fiction Award LibraryReads "Favorite of Favorites" Top 10 Books of 2016 Goodreads Best Mystery & Thriller of 2016 finalist BookPage 10 Best Mysteries and Thrillers of 2016 Audible's Best Mystery/Thriller of 2016 St. Louis Post-Dispatch 5 Favorite Audiobooks of 2016 BOLO Books Top Reads of 2016 "Deep and grand and altogether extraordinary....Miraculous." -- The Washington Post "Artful... powerful... magical." -- The New York Times Book Review "Suspenseful." -- O, the Oprah Magazine "Superb." -- People "Transcends the mystery genre." -- AARP, The Magazine "Luminous prose, complex but uncluttered plots, and profound compassion." -- Seattle Times "Addictive." -- Charlotte Observer "Satin prose...

Artist Clara Morrow is about to have a prestigious show of her paintings when her childhood friend is found murdered, and the finger of suspicion points to Clara. Chief Inspector Gamache is called to investigate, and using his trademark powers of deduction and his intuitive knack for the right question at the right time, he exposes the darkness that underlies the bright stars of Montreal's art world, where competition between friends, and even between husband and wife, can turn lethal. Ultimately, of course, it's Louise Penny who steals the show, and A TRICK OF THE LIGHT will not only keep you engrossed from start to finish, it will teach you something new about love, truth, and the human heart." -- Lisa Scottoline, "Penny sustains her high-wire act, creating characters of remarkable depth in an exhilarating whodunit." -- People "Louise Penny is unsurpassed at building a sense of heart-stopping urgency." -- The Charlotte Observer "Penny, who raises the bar with each entry in this superb series, has always mixed murder and corruption with issues of morality...[S]he does so with her accustomed talent for a gripping plot, rich characterizations, arresting prose and thought-provoking questions of mercy, malice and the contradictions of the human race." -- Richmond-Times Dispatch "This series dominates best-seller lists and award lists for a reason.

    Far and away the ugliest seller I have encountered in more than 20 years. (eBay tells me it's 21.) Sent a book described as good, but it was underlined IN INK from cover to cover!!! Mistakes can happen, but this seller ignored three emails, and when I submitted photos and asked for a full $21.39 refund for this worthless book, I was offered $4.99. She just wanted to get me irritated all over again. When eBay intervened and saw photos, a full refund was immediate. Avoid her like the plague!

    Shipping: Shipped the day of the sale; arrived in 5 days in my city, but then the post office sent my package to Colorado. It took another 10 days to get delivered. Packaging: as expected As described: described as NEW. The books do look NEW until you at the page edges which are tanned to almost yellow. Books were probably never read, but they probably sat in sunlight for a long time. Value: Despite yellow-tan page edges, these books were a great value.

    The best story line

    This author was tending her husband who at the time had alzheimers (read the last section of the book where where she tells you about him). She put herself into this novel at the same time and it shows. It's probably, for now, the best in the series . They are all quite moving and keep you wanting to know more. It's all about the characters choices in life, how some go onto a better life and some.......You get the picture.

    Full circle

    I've read these from the start - I love a good mystery and so few are set in Quebec. Penny's writing as always is excellent and while I'm not fond of several of her main characters they are still interesting. The mystery here is a surprise end in the I didn't see that coming way but what I liked about this novel the most was the full circle Gamache & Beauvoir each reach at the end of this story compared to where they started in "Still Life". I found that very fulfilling as a fan of the whole series- especially when there were several books I was so disenchanted with I almost gave up on them. This is a definite must read for anyone following this series, and if you haven't read these and love a good mystery that has real people in it not super-characters- start with Still life and go until ...
