The Three Pines discussion

True confession: I am a recent convert and a huge fan. Have not finished the whole series yet, but close.
Question: is there a back story to Ruth Zardo? Which book?
Her life must have been fascinating.

There is a bit of back story about Ruth and another character in The Nature of the Beast.

Thank you! I listen to them out of order - logistics (get audiobooks from libraries as they become available) - and "Nature of the beast" is on my MP3 player. Next on my list

Nature of the Beast wasn't my favorite Penny book when I read it, but loved it later as an audiobook!

I think you basically learn a bit more of the backstory in each book. It's like meeting up with old friends periodically to catch up on what's happened. :)

thank you. just finished Nature of the Beast.

What about her husband who is mentioned in -- I think -- Still Life? Never mentioned again. And we get her age in How the Light Gets In.
