Synopsis

Named One of the Five Mystery/Crime Novels of the Decade by "Deadly Pleasures" Magazine Winner of the New Blood Dagger, Arthur Ellis, Barry, Anthony, and Dilys awards Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Surete du Quebec and his team of investigators are called in to the scene of a suspicious death in a rural village south of Montreal. Jane Neal, a local fixture in the tiny hamlet of Three Pines, just north of the U.S. border, has been found dead in the woods. The locals are certain it's a tragic hunting accident and nothing more, but Gamache smells something foul in these remote woods, and is soon certain that Jane Neal died at the hands of someone much more sinister than a careless bowhunter. " Still Life" introduces not only an engaging series hero in Inspector Gamache, who commands his forces--and this series--with integrity and quiet courage, but also a winning and talented new writer of traditional mysteries in the person of Louise Penny.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'Still Life will tease, tantalise and trick you. Agatha Christie comes to Three Pines... has all the characteristics of the good, old-fashioned murder mystery - skilful plotting with red herrings galore, cleverly drawn characters, and a strong, calm detective... A clever, quietly-drawn thriller that probes beneath the apparently sunny surface of human nature' Joburg.co.za (Joburg.co.za)

'A perfectly executed traditional mystery' Poisoned Pen (Poisoned Pen)

'Set in an artistic haven outside Montreal, this cerebral mystery about a bow-and-arrow murder and a detective who works out of a local bistro is a rare treat' (People magazine)

Présentation de l'éditeur

As the early morning mist clears on Thanksgiving Sunday, the homes of Three Pines come to life – all except one…

To locals, the village is a safe haven. So they are bewildered when a well-loved member of the community is found dead in the maple woods. Surely it was an accident – a hunter’s arrow gone astray. Who could want Jane Neal dead? In a long and distinguished career with the Sûrete du Quebec, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache has learned to look for snakes in Eden. Gamache knows something dark is lurking behind the white picket fences, and if he watches closely enough, Three Pines will begin to give up its secrets…
