The Brutal Telling (Chief Inspector Gamache) - Tapa blanda

Ingenious and unexpected (Guardian)

The best Gamache so far (Globe and Mail)

It's Louise Penny's writing which adds a glow to this book. It's not just the skill of the plot, but the way that words are never wasted and that so few of them can produce a vivid picture. (The Bookbag)

Murder, an attractive detective and terrific atmosphere . . . Impressive (The Times)

An intricate, almost mythic plot, superb characters, and rich, dark humor. (People)

Louise Penny's writing is intricate, beautiful and compelling. She is an original voice, a distillation of both PD James and Barbara Vine at their peaks and a worthy successor to both. (Peter James)
