Return to Three Pines in this deluxe 20th anniversary edition

In 2005, bestselling author Louise Penny introduced her iconic mystery series starring Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Surêté du Québec. Gamache and his team of investigators are called into the scene of a suspicious death in a picturesque rural village somewhere south of Montreal. A village not found on any map. A village with three majestic pine trees presiding over the village green, a sign to weary travellers that they had reached a place of safety.


Still Life is not only an introduction to Inspector Gamache, a man whose integrity and quiet courage is an example to everyone around him, but also the launch of one of the most dynamic voices in popular fiction today. This very special 20th Anniversary edition has been carefully crafted for the bookshelves of Louise Penny fans, and for new readers to enter the mysteries of Three Pines…

Reviews

'[An] auspicious debut... [Penny's] deceptively simple style masks the complex patterns of a well devised plot'

Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review


'It's hard to decide what provides the most pleasure in this enjoyable book: Gamache, a shrewd and kindly man constantly surprised by homicide; the village, which sounds at first like an ideal place to escape from civilization; or the clever and carefully constructed plot'

Chicago Tribune
