About this product

Product Information

Winner of the New Blood Dagger, Arthur Ellis, Barry, Anthony, and Dilys awards. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sur t du Qu bec and his team of investigators are called in to the scene of a suspicious death in a rural village south of Montreal. Jane Neal, a local fixture in the tiny hamlet of Three Pines, just north of the U.S. border, has been found dead in the woods. The locals are certain it's a tragic hunting accident and nothing more, but Gamache smells something foul in these remote woods, and is soon certain that Jane Neal died at the hands of someone much more sinister than a careless bowhunter. Still Life introduces not only an engaging series hero in Inspector Gamache, who commands his forces---and this series---with integrity and quiet courage, but also a winning and talented new writer of traditional mysteries in the person of Louise Penny.

Reviews
What a joy it is to discover a detective like Armand Gamache, strong, calm and charismatic and at work on a good mystery in a believable setting., "A rare treat." - People magazine "It's hard to decide what provides the most pleasure in this enjoyable book: Gamache, a shrewd and kindly man constantly surprised by homicide; the village, which sounds at first like an ideal place to escape from civilization; or the clever and carefully constructed plot." - Chicago Tribune "Cerebral, wise and compassionate, Gamache is destined for stardom. Don't miss this stellar debut." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Terrific. Like a virtuoso, Penny plays a complex variation on the theme of the clue hidden in plain sight." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A gem of a book." - Booklist (starred review) "[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 "A stellar debut novel.

I can't wait for the next installment." -Deborah Crombie, author of Water Like a Stone "An excellent, subtle plot full of understanding of the deeper places in human nature, and many wise observations that will enrich the reader long after the pages are closed." -Anne Perry, author of Long Spoon Lane "Georges Simenon kept Maigret going for over a hundred books. It will be a delight for all of us who love detective fiction if Louise Penny can stay around long enough to do the same for Gamache." -Reginald Hill, author of The Stranger House " Still Life is a masterpiece of a traditional drawing room mystery, repainted in the autumnal colors of the Canadian countryside.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    Great author

    I have been getting Louise Penny’s books from the library for a while now. Love the entire series. Decided it’s time to start getting my own copies!

  • Well crafted first book; puzzling mystery; life-like characters and setting

    As an avid reader, I am pleased when a book grabs my attention from the first paragraph. A good writer has a sense of place and subtly draws the characters. I chose Louise Penny’s “Still Life” because I wanted to explore mysteries outside the US and beyond Christie and Doyle. The case takes place in Three Pines in Canada and how I wish the location and people were real. Aside from the murder, I would consider relocating. This is her first novel and I’m so glad that she has continued writing with the same quality and interest. I've bought almost all the other books she's written for my summer reading.

  • A great read. First book in a series involving Inspector Armand Gamache

    This is a great read. It is the first book in a series following the career of Armand Gamache, a Canadian Police Inspector. I have read the next four in the series, and am about to begin the fifth book. The characters, (and I do literally mean "characters") are well drawn, and one would like to meet each of them in real life. I recommend that one should consider reading this book first, as the next four books, and maybe the rest of the series, deal with goings on in a charming community in Canada.

  • Wonderful mystery

    Haven’t finished reading the whole book but love it so far and look forward to reading more of this author❤️

  • Thought Provocative Novel

    In today's world of computer generated movies and media overload, it is a pleasure to reacquaint yourself to a wonderfully written "Who Done It" novel, similar to the Agatha Christie stories of yesteryear. Louise Penny paints a beautiful portrait of small town living, accompanied by a cast of interesting characters, that stretches your mind in solving a puzzling crime case. The characters remain constant in subsequent novels as well, placing the reader in a position to always want more...
