Still life, by Louise Penny



This first novel in a series featuring Montreal Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, is set in the rural village of Three Pines.  Gentle spinster Jane Neal has met an untimely end in the forest – seemingly shot accidentally by a bow hunter over the Thanksgiving holiday.  But called to the scene of the accident, Gamache becomes suspicious that this was no accident.  Who would want to harm her on the eve of her finally showing her art work at the local art festival?  The book is filled with interesting and well-drawn characters and I look forward to reading more of Gamache’s future cases.  312 pp.
