I am reading books by my current favorite mystery writer – Louis Penny – from first to last. I have finished #3 – The Cruelest Month - and am looking forward to book #4 – A Rule Against Murder. She’s written thirteen so far. I am eager to dive into her most recent book, but am steadfastly refusing to read her books out of order. I want to see how her primary characters, mainly Chief Inspector Gamache and his team of inspectors, develop over time. I’m also interested in how the inhabitants of Three Pines, a small town in Canada where her novels are set, grow and change and form new relationships. Her town and characters provide a rich tapestry upon which she has embroidered colorful, heartwarming, funny yet poignant stories of crime and redemption. I have to force myself to take a break between her books to work on my own! At the present moment that means No More Time, book number # 5 in the Dodie O’Dell mystery series. (Just in Time will be out September, 2018) Louise, if you see this…I am such a FAN!
