Still Life: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel Audiobook

" My first Penny experience. I was so disappointed when I finished the Martha Grimes series, I wasn't sure where to go. Now I know. Louise Penny is the real deal. "

" I'very read all Louise Penny's novels and loved them. So, I was anxious to try an audiobook. The audiobook was true to the novel, but a more animated narration would have made it wonderful. Thus, the narration was often monotone and drug at times. "

" Lovely little read. Intriguing characters. Just a fun mystery. I enjoyed it. It gets a 7 on my 10 scale. "

" After Maisie Dobbs, this is my new favorite detective series. "

" I was so excited to begin a new mystery series. I was so hoping to adore it. It's very slow and very well written and I hated it until three quarters through it. I was just incredibly bored and looked forward to being finished so I could try again. I think it's a nice book as a novel, but complete crap as a mystery, even a cozy. "

" Lovely read, looking forward to the next one. "

" This book is a mystery my mother would enjoy, but a little too tame and predictable to get more than 2 stars from me. The head inspector guy was like able, though! The look at Canadian culture was interesting. "

" Really enjoyed this book. Has the feel of an Agatha Christie or Ruth Rendell's Inspector Wexford stories. Looking forward to reading on in the series! "

" First time with this writer and really enjoyed her. A Little more than just a mystery. Set in Quebec which is fun since I lived in Montreal. "

" Good and clean who done it book. I will listen to more of her books. "

" All I can say is wow! A real good thing to be thankful for - finding a new series that, if the first book is any indication, will be a wonderful thing to read through. "

" First in a series of murder mysteries that take place in a quiet village in Canada. Great read for the beach or airplane. Held my interest and had no idea who the murderer was until all was unveiled. I understand the books must be read in order and I am looking forward to reading the next one. "

" OK, but not NEARLY as good as the reviews made it sound. "

" This was a good book that described the small Canadian town as well as the main characters quite well. However I had figured out "who did it" way before the end. "

" I'm not usually a mystery reader, but I find this series of books to be good, fun beach reads. Not too taxing and fun lovable characters. "

" Al of Louise Penny's mysteries are page turners with great plots and characters -- and I want to move to Three Pines! "

" I love the Armand Gamache mysteries. So many light mysteries have terrible character development, but Louise Penny does a great job of making her characters complex and human. The mysteries are fun, not too scary (I HATE scary), and I enjoyed them enough to read all of them at once. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I picked it up and then put it down for awhile because I wasn't sure I liked it. I decided to try again and then I couldn't put it down. I am anxious to start the next book! It is a very good mystery which kept me guessing until the end. I like that. "

" Not as good as Bury Your Dead but still worth reading. "

" Louise Penny transports you to Quebec and their culture. Makes you a part of three pines in short order. The format was so different from so many mysteries. The mysteries was solved more like I imagine real police work. A great read. "

" Plods along until the last 30- 40 pages. Not "thrilling" but predictable. Some good characterization. "

" Terrific mystery, although I figured out the killer before the last chapter, it didn't disappoint. Looks like a great series, and one that was suggested to me many times. Glad I finally took the plunge! "

" Good characters. Good storyline. Hard to put down. "

" I love it! A cozy mysteries with good personal and environmental books. Not unnecessary bloody descriptions a detective novel based on psychology with unexpected twists. Recommended! "

" Very nice mystery set in Quebec. I like murder in the cold. "

" Not bad for a cozy mystery. "

" Took a while to catch the rhythm of Louise Penny's writing but by the end I was looking forward to the next one. "

" Mystery novel with well drawn characters; gives a peak into small village life in Quebec. "

" Just discovered this author and can't wait to read more! It was a little slow to start, but once into it, I really enjoyed it. A classic "British" mystery that actually takes place in Canada. Loved it - can't wait to read more from this author. "

" Loved it. Kind of fell in love with Three Pines, and everyone in it! AND Inspector Gamache "

" this is the beginning of a wonderful adventure in three pines. you will fall in love with the unique characters and jump at the chance to read the next mystery in the series. get reading "

" A little slow getting into,not too suspenseful, but did enjoy. "

" I listened to this book the first time around and loved it. I read it for my book club this time and savored the story, the characters, and the language all over again -- in short, better than ever! "

" I like detective novel and this was a gentle approach more about the villagers and their conncetions i am looking forward to the next book in the series. "

" Still reading. So far, very good. "

" This is the first Louise Penny novel that I've read, and I will definitely look for more. My only complaint was the wordiness at the end that made the suspense painful. I really wanted to know who did it and why sooner than the author revealed the details. "
