A Trick Of The Light

A Trick Of The Light

by Louise Penny (Author)

Synopsis

In the green depths of spring, morning breaks on a woman splayed in a bed of flowers - her eyes wide, her neck broken.

Her death is a mystery; so is the woman herself. But as Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his team peer into the dark corners of the victim's past, they expose a secret that rots at the very heart of their community - a secret that will implicate someone they've trusted for years. And as Gamache knows too well, in the flickering shadows of death, the truth may be just a trick of the light.

Media Reviews
Stellar....With her smart plot and fascinating, nuanced characters, Penny proves again that she is one of our finest writers * People Magazine *
Outstanding....Penny effectively employs...the interplay of light and dark...which resonates symbolically in the souls of the characters * Publishers Weekly *
A commanding and artful performance.... For connoisseurs of mysteries, success is judged by the genre's holy trinity: plot, people and prose. When all three attain excellence, a fourth quality shines through: power..... what lifts her work to the highest plane is the deep sense of humanity with which she invests her novels, and 'A Trick of the Light' satisfies and surpasses that standard * Richmond Times-Dispatch *
A thoroughly compelling read with plenty of twists, and suspects appearing around every bend * Woman's Way Ireland *
