Louise Penny Boxed Set (1-3)
Louise Penny Boxed Set (1-3): Still Life, A Fatal Grace, The Cruelest Month | Louise Penny
16 posts | 14 read | 11 to read
Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sret du Qubec digs beneath the idyllic surface of village life in Three Pines, finding long buried secrets--and facing a few enemies of his own. With nine books in the series and more to come, this boxed set of the first three books--Still Life, A Fatal Grace, and The Cruelest Month--introduces not only the engaging series hero Inspector Gamache, who commands his forces--and this series--with integrity and quiet courage, but also the spectacular Louise Penny. A #1 New York Times bestseller and multiple award winner, Louise Penny "writes with grace and intelligence" (New York Times Book Review) and "with her smart plot and fascinating, nuanced characters...proves that she is one of our finest writers (People). The acclaimed series is a sensation--there are nearly 850,000 print copies in the US and Canada alone, and it has been translated into 35 languages.

The cover of the newest Gamache book is so pretty. Out in August, not in the database yet.

CSeydel Gorgeous! I didn‘t love the first Gamache book ... maybe I‘ll give the series another try. 4y
JamieArc @CSeydel I think the value of these books lies with the characters and how their friendships grow. I wouldn‘t read these for the mystery plot really. 4y

Louise, Louise, Louise! We need more!
I cannot get enough of Gamache and his crew and the lovely inhabitants of Three Pines.

What an interesting question! When I read it, I immediately thought of Three Pines, the primary location in the Louise Penny books. Visiting this quaint little Canadian village is like curling up in your most comfy reading chair under a well worn quilt in front of the fireplace. Upon meeting them, the quirky cast of characters immediately became my friends and I often wonder how they‘re doing! Comfort reading at its best. 🌲🌲🌲 #GiGiBookBox

Louise Penny is coming to Halifax! 🙌🏼💃 I've never had a chance to hear a favorite author speak. The authors I enjoy almost never come out this way. I hope everything works out so I can go. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

CoverToCoverGirl Awesome for you! I was over the moon when Diana Gabaldon came to Moncton. Words can still not explain how it made me feel listening to her speak and then getting the opportunity to speak a few words with her while she signed my book! ❤️❤️😊 6y

I so love the Inspector Gamache series! I was lucky enough to get one of the Three Pine Maps when Louise Penny was giving them away. I always say I‘m from Three Pines, as my family came from the area. #septinbooks18 #favoritebookishmap

erzascarletbookgasm How did I not know this..that she gave away maps of Three Pines?! 6y
Suzze @erzascarletbookgasm It was a few years ago. If I remember right you sent her your email and she sent you one. Till she ran out. 6y
Crazeedi I've read every one of them , just the best!!! 6y

Y‘all, I think I have a problem. 😄 In my defense, I ordered these before I knew I was going to buy so many books at the festival Saturday. The poetry on top is a Goodreads win, but the rest are Louise Penny. I read her books from the library but I wanted to own them for frequent rereading. Most are from Better a world Books, which donates to literacy programs, so that‘s my rationalization. And if Florence keeps us housebound, I‘m ready! #bookmail

CarolynM Louise Penny books are definitely worth owning! 6y
erzascarletbookgasm I‘ve been meaning to continue reading the Insp Gamache series but keep getting distracted! 6y

Great introduction to Louise Penny and her main character, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. I was pulled in from the very first page of the first book. Now I‘m working my way through he series and loving it!

Today, I visited some small towns in southern Québec - the same towns Louise Penny drew inspiration from when she created her Inspector Gamache series. On the right is the town square, with a picture of Main Street below; the building in the center of the picture is the bookstore Myrna‘s shop is based on. On the left is the bistro, the boulangerie and the church.

CarolynM Thanks for posting these lovely pictures. I am really enjoying the series, but I've never been to Quebec (or any other part of Canada for that matter) It is great to have some real images to colour my imagination😀 6y
LikelyLibrarian @CarolynM Glad you liked them! 6y

Louise Penny is my favorite #femaleauthor. She is Canadian and her Chief Inspector Armand Gamache Mystery series is set in Quebec in a little village called Three Pines where her quirky characters live. The first book in the series is Still Life. The series should be read in order as each book advances the characters and storyline. Currently the series consists of 13 books with the 14th to be published in August. Great series you shouldn‘t miss!

Mollyanna One of my favorite series as well! I love being transported to Three Pines. 6y
TheFunkyBookworm Planning to start this series this summer- I‘ve heard so many great things about it! 6y
EadieB @Mollyanna @TheFunkyBookworm Three Pines is a great place to visit. Hope you enjoy the series as much as I do. 6y

CarolynM I've only recently discovered this series. Enjoying it enormously🙂 6y
intothehallofbooks I just bought the first two books in this series! I‘m so excited to read them 🤓 6y
EadieB @carolynM @intothehallofbooks Great books to enjoy! 6y
Tamra I started one of the audios last night - the first one with the new narrator. So sad the other died, he embodied Gamache. 6y
EadieB @Tamra Yes Louise just recently lost her husband, Michael too. Both of these deaths were very hard on her. If you are on FB you could become friends with her. 6y
Tamra @EadieB oh, how terrible for her. 😞 6y

Chief Inspector Gamache is a gentleman with a quicksilver mind who knows how to catch a killer. Mostly set in the tiny village of Three Pines in Quebec, this is a quiet, thoughtful series with twisty mysteries & a full cast of eccentric characters, who provide a strong backdrop for each mystery, as well as an overarching struggle between Gamache & police corruption. Each mystery is well-crafted & will keep you guessing to the very end. - Flannery
