It’s been a bit too long since I last read an Inspector Gamache series – I think I read the previous book in the series in 2021 and one of the earlier books in 2022. But this is a series that I’ve followed for so long that I immediately borrowed All The Devils Are Here… Read More Book Review: All The Devils Are Here by Louise Penny
I’m pretty sure that I’ve read this a long time ago, but this was before I started writing down my reviews so I have absolutely no recollection of what I thought about this the first time I read it. And honestly, this felt like a new-to-me book which I loved so much. The third book… Read More Book Review: The Cruellest Month by Louise Penny
The alternate title of this book should be “All truth with malice in it”, since it seems to be a refrain for many of the characters. In A Better Man, Gamache is feeling the effects of his actions in Kingdom of the Blind. He’s accepted a demotion to the post of Chief Inspector, a position… Read More Book Review: A Better Man by Louise Penny
“In the kingdom of the blind, Amelia recited to herself as she trudged along— —the one-eyed man is king, Gamache read.” Kingdom of the Blind, Louise Penny Ever since How the Light Gets In, I’ve been waiting for the Inspector Gamache series to finish. But Louise Penny has always managed to write another great book… Read More Book Review: Kingdom of the Blind by Louise Penny
This turned out to be a surprisingly hard read. Not because it was bad (quite the opposite, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time) but because I got too excited about the ending. Even reading the last few chapters didn’t help, the tension was just that high. In Glass Houses, Armand… Read More Glass Houses by Louise Penny
Since the library is having a reading competition, I’ve been visiting every week to borrow a book or two. And in the interest of being able to finish books fast enough (while making progress on my book haul), I’ve been trying to borrow mostly books that I know I’ll enjoy – like the next book… Read More A Great Reckoning by Louise Penny
Looking through my past reviews of the Inspector Gamache series (the ones I have written – I have a large chunk missing that I will reread someday), I realised that there was a book in the series that I actually rated four stars. Which is surprising to me now, because every new book I read… Read More The Nature of the Beast by Louise Penny
I am finally over How The Light Gets In (although looking back on my review, it seems a bit understated compared to how the book still makes me feel) and so I finally borrowed the next book in the Inspector Gamache series: The Long Way Home. This book is different from the rest of the… Read More The Long Way Home by Louise Penny
I’ve been looking for the paperback version of this book in the library, but after a few failed attempts, I caved and borrowed the hardback (I’m one of those weirdos who prefer the paperback versions because they are a lot more convenient). And you know what? I didn’t even notice that this was an unwieldy… Read More How the Light Gets In by Louise Penny
