Review: A Fatal Grace

A Fatal Grace by Louise Penny

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I stumbled across this author at a sale on Audible one day, and while I don't usually go in for mysteries (mostly because then I would be turning into my mother and not because I have anything against them as a genre), it was set in Québec and piqued my interest. I continue to enjoy this series a great deal and have a similar reaction each time I listen to one of them. My reaction arrives in four stages:
1. I question myself about WHY I am not living in Québec and fail to come up with a satisfactory answer.
2. I appreciate the gentle and soothing narration by the performer and excellent word choice by the author.
3. I get hungry. The descriptions of food cause my mouth to water.
4. I try to solve the mystery.
The fourth point is really the least important to me, although it is necessary to give the books plot. In this installment of the series, most of my suspicions were borne out, but I didn't much mind that I wasn't so surprised. Gamache's old-world charm is comforting and I enjoyed my stay in the village of Three Pines.
