Rendition In Favor Of Books Bury Your Dead (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache #6)
It is Winter Carnival in Quebec City, bitterly cold and surpassingly beautiful. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache has come not to join the revels but to recover from an investigation gone hauntingly wrong. But violent death is inescapable, even in the apparent sanctuary of the Literary and Historical Society - where an obsessive historian's quest for the remains of the founder of Quebec, Samuel de Champlain, ends in murder. Could a secret buried with Champlain for nearly 400 years be so dreadful that someone would kill to protect it?Although he is supposed to be on leave, Gamache cannot walk away from a crime that threatens to ignite long-smoldering tensions between the English and the French. Meanwhile, he is receiving disquieting letters from the village of Three Pines, where beloved Bistro owner Olivier was recently convicted of murder. "It doesn't make sense," Olivier’s partner writes every day. "He didn't do it, you know." As past and present collide in this astonishing novel, Gamache must relive the terrible event of his own past before he can bury his dead.

This is one of my favorite series and I have read all of the books up until this one. As much as I have loved them all, this was my favorite by far. There is a restraint to this one, a simple, poignant elegance, a sadness and beauty which took my breath away. This story continues the themes of belonging and exclusion which were so present in The Brutal Telling and fleshes out some of the characters and plot points from that book. It also introduces themes of fault and forgiveness, of loss andThis ripped out my soul and then put it back again. Review to come.
This is my first ever Louise Penny and I wonder why it took me so long to discover her!I loved the quiet progression of this novel, where so much happens so seemingly effortlessly.Past and present collide in this novel, where Inspector Gamache must relive and come to terms with an investigation that went horribly wrong, leaving several of his team dead. While on holiday in Quebec, and indulging his love of history at in the Literary and Historical Society, a body is discovered in the
I had forgotten what the pure joy of getting lost in a book was like.Bury Your Dead is the most intricate of the Louise Penny books that I have read so far. There are three plotlines weaving throughout the book at once.The main plot would seem to be the murder of a man who had dedicated his life to finding the burial site of Samuel De Champlain, considered the founder of Quebec. Where he was found was even more controversial. His body was found buried in the basement of The English Literary and
Dear Lousy Louise Penny,You really know how to hurt a boy. You make, ex nihilo, people whose reality I completely buy into, whose very existence (in a well-ordered Universe) is simply necessary, and then you give them real, human flaws, and dreadfully painful pasts, and generally screw with my reality/fictionality compass.And then you make them do yucky, tacky things. And even vile, evil ones. And somehow, throughout that process, you *don't* make me dislike them, or even judge them. You make me
As I said it before, Inspector Gamache series is my favorite of the mystery genre and this 6th installment did not disappoint. If anything, the books are getting better and better. Again, I have to underline that this series should be read in order for a better understanding of the characters the plot. This one is especially connected with the one before it. SPOILERS about the previous book aheadThis novel has three connecting plots, there are three mysteries to uncover, one by Gamache, one by
I forced myself to wait. It was difficult! Spacing the books in this series out made it so much more exciting.The Brutal Telling and this book must be read together. Bury Your Dead completes the previous book in the series. What a conclusion!Once again Louise Penny took us heart and soul into the lives of the many characters and history of Quebec. She made it impossible to read this book without getting heads over heels involved in the plot and story. Inspector Armand Gamache and his
