Media Reviews
Penny's mysteries are really character studies. There is police procedure being followed, but the forensics take second place to Gamache's absolutely fascinating probe into the characters of every single person involved in the investigation: the police, the witnesses, and especially the suspects. He cares passionately about each person and makes the reader care. Highly recommended * Library Journal *
Once again, Penny delivers a masterful, nuanced suspense novel in which tone and setting are just as riveting as the murderer's who and why * People Magazine US *
Complex characterizations...subtle plotting...masterful...unfolds with subtlety and intelligence. Once again, Penny impressively balances personal courage and faith with heartbreaking choices and monstrous evil * Publishers Weekly *
Clever, full of twists and turns, a wonderfully satisfying -- and moving -- addition to Penny's atmospheric, distinctive series * Kate Mosse *
Penny's elegant style is deeply satisfying, while Gamache is contemplative even when under pressure, and remains a man you want to spend time with * Metro *
Louise Penny twists and turns the plot expertly tripping the reader up just at the moment you think you might have solved the mystery * Daily Express *
Another bravura performance from an author who has reinvented the village mystery as profoundly as Dashiell Hammett transformed the detective novel * Booklist *
With skilful plotting and gift for creating atmosphere, Penny weaves a dark and suspenseful tale of deadly secrets, professional machinations and surprising twists * Good Book Guide *
Subtle, elegant and beautifully written * Sunday Mirror *
