Still Life

Still Life by Louise Penny  312 pp.

This is the first of the Inspector Gamache mysteries. In a small Quebec town, a retired schoolteacher dies in the woods of an arrow wound. Gamache of the Surêté de Québec and his team are called in to investigate. Most belief the death was a hunting accident as it is bow season for deer. As more and more details are uncovered it seems that someone had planned a cunning murder made to look like an accident. Meanwhile Gamache also has to contend with a troublesome new addition to his team of investigators. It is a well written, with interesting characters, and a story that is not blood & guts gory. All in all a nice light read.
