"[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
"A perfectly executed traditional mystery."Denver Post
The New York Times - Marilyn Stasio
… like her neighbors in the picturesque Canadian village of Three Pines, the dear old thing had hidden depths, courtesy of an author whose deceptively simple style masks the complex patterns of a well-devised plot - rather like the subtle designs of Jane s "primitive" pictures. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec, who is as bemused as we are by life in Three Pines, has the wit and insight to look well beyond its idyllic surface.
