I hope everyone who wanted to participate was able to enjoy a nice cozy mystery as we head into winter for the #OhCanada read. This is a light discussion on thoughts about the series and/or author.

A reminder that many read different books in the series so no spoilers please.

Jess861 I enjoyed my first adventure in Three Pines! Not sure I'll read all in the series but I can see myself picking one up every so often if I find myself in the mood for a cozy mystery. 39m

LapReader I‘m almost done with mine. So far not that impressed. now
lauraisntwilder We have a long drive "home" to see family for holidays. My husband and I usually listen to audiobooks on the road, typically hardboiled stuff like Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammet, that we both like. At Thanksgiving this year, we listened to Still Life and we did A Fatal Grace at Christmas. I didn't realize these were considered "cozy," but it makes sense. We enjoyed them. (Although we did listen to a Chester Himes on our way back!) now

I'm not quite as enamoured with Three Pines as so many are, but I always find a Gamache book compelling. And that was certainly the case here, as many threads from the earlier books all get woven together and the picture revealed here (quite dramatically).

Ruthiella “How the light gets in” was quoted multiple times in the second book in the series that I just read. Leonard Cohen - très Canadian. ?? 3d

quietjenn @ferskner I definitely teared up a bit. So emotional! 1d

#ChristmasCrimeChallenge “Cozy”
#OhCanada

I believe I understand the appeal but the mix of procedural and cozy in this series just doesn‘t work for me.

The loathsome CC de Poitiers is Three Pines newest resident and its most recent murder victim. Nobody liked her but who killed her during the annual curling event? Chief Inspector Gamache will get to the bottom of it with help from the village‘s residents.

RaeLovesToRead Interesting combo 🤔 6d
Ruthiella @RaeLovesToRead It‘s a super popular series. A lot of Littens love it. 6d
BiblioLitten I had a tad bit of an issue with how the author talked about the killer. 4d
Ruthiella I can understand that. Penny certainly underscored repeatedly how unattractive she was due to her weight. 4d

Gamache is a great character and I love the setting of this book (the series). I tend to find that Penny‘s books take a little time to get going but once they do, they‘re usually entertaining and this one was no exception. A vile woman that no one likes is murdered and unraveling the who and why behind the crime will uncover long held secrets and reveal the best and worst of people. Entertaining read.

Ruthiella I‘m still reading (listening to it) but I do appreciate that the murder victim is such an awful person. 1w

My planned #AuldLangSpine picks were all readily available in my county library system, so I‘ve been waiting until closer to the end of the year to place my holds. Library hold timing is everything. 😆 I put these three on hold over the weekend, and they‘re on their way! 🎉

PurpleyPumpkin Woohoo! Looks like it‘ll be a nice start to your reading year! At least, I hope so. 🤞🏽🎉😉 7d
BarbaraJean @PurpleyPumpkin I‘m sure it will be! I‘m starting with some of the “lighter” stuff… decided I‘d save Erasure till later in the month 😁 7d
PurpleyPumpkin You've chosen very wisely imo.😅👍🏽 6d

Today I'm on the road "home" to Tennessee for Christmas. My husband and I enjoyed listening to Still Life on this drive at Thanksgiving, so we're listening to this second book today. (So fun that the first one takes place at Thanksgiving and, in this one, the action starts on Dec 22.) I'm working on my son's ornament for this year as my husband drives. It's the Ghost of Christmas Present from the Muppets Christmas Carol.

lil1inblue What a fabulous ornament! 🤩 Safe travels! 1w
BookishMarginalia That‘s so cool! 1w
Chelsea.Poole Great work on that ornament! 1w

“HEARTS ARE BROKEN “
Gamache and his associates visit an art show in Three Pines and not only enjoy art but find another murder.

As talent is reviewed, Gamache finds a killer. Clues lead him this way and that until a smile reveals a motive.

Background stories reveal much more about Gamache and Guy Beauvoir and their injuries in a prior solved crime.
