Still Life is the first book in a mystery series about Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. A murder takes place in a rural village south of Montreal. The victim is Jane Neal, a retired school teacher. The locals believe it is a hunting accident, as who would possibly have anything against their beloved Jane. However Inspector Gamache and his colleagues begin to suspect it is murder. And there are quite a few suspects in the charming town of Three Pines.
I bought Still Life at the beginning of the summer and have zipped through the entire series. The last book (so far) is Glass Houses which I bought the day it came out and finished by the next day. No I did not get a whole lot done in that 24 hours but boy was it enjoyable.
The story line, characters and writing in these novels are captivating. If you like being hooked on a mystery and don't need to get a whole lot done for the next month, I highly recommend binge reading Louise Penny's series.
