A rule against murder, by Louise Penny



Even when Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, head of the homicide department in Montreal, is on vacation celebrating his anniversary with his wife Reine-Marie, murder follows him to the remote and unique Manoir Bellechasse.  An extended family is also vacationing there, and one of them comes to a bizarre end.  The first of the series to be set away from the charming village of Three Pines, the new locale works well with the mystery.  And two of the villagers, the artists Peter and Clara Morrow, are on the scene too.  As always, the characters – and the descriptions of delicious meals – are a delight and the plot is complex.  The series just keeps getting better.  321 pp.
