Well done. This was the first book by Louise Penny I have ever read, but now I will read all Imcan find. The writing is beautiful and the humor, when it comes, is in character and delightful. The humanity in the book! The characters are real and the evil is real. The plotting and suspense are original. Nothing about this book is formula. This is not just a good read. It is a fine book.

One of the best. I seldom give mysteries five stars. This one deserves it. Great characters, complex plot, colorful, attentive to detail and faithful to the idea that artists go well beyond description.

Still Life. Wonderfully written and easy to read. Delightfully subtle humor and interesting characters. I can't wait to read the next one.

Still life. More than expected

The best.. Louise Penny writes with humor, compassion, intelligence and elegance. Her novels are to be savored but one usually devours them instead as they are so well done. The settings are divine and one is totally drawn into the characters lives, homes and settings. By far the best mysteries available today.

Well-written!. Louise Penny is one of the best contemporary mystery writers in North America. Her characters are well-drawn and complicated- new layers ( or is it depths?) are revealed under subsequent titles in this wonderful series. I was completely in love with Three Pines and its residents by the end of the first book and couldn't wait to find another so I could visit this village again.

Still life. Good story, good characters

Still life. The plot could be written on a napkin. Very weak.

Great book!. I am new to Louise Penny, and this book made me realize I have been missing out on a truly wonderful writer. Her characters are people you want to know or know someone just like them. This wasn’t a mystery at breakneck speed. This was a book about relationships and real people I want to know. The plot was clever, and while I cared who did it and why, it was a good journey getting from A to Z.

Bad writing. I originally purchased this book because it was recommended to me by a friend, but one chapter in I was already regretting my purchase. The wrting is "telling" instead of "showing and I predicted the outcome very early on. Boring and predictable.

Excellent, humorous writing and brilliant characters. The plot was a lot of fun, but what worked for me was the writing, dialog, thoughts and characters. I need to move on to my list of books to read, but maybe just a quick run through the next in the series first... Yes, that’s what I’ll do.

Still life. Charming and well written. Great book to curl up with and wonderful mystery to get caught up in.

Read the whole series in order.. The police chief, his wife, his children, the dog, the neighbors in Three Pines, Quebec culture and history. There is a mood in this series that’s hypnotic. You’ll fall in love .

Still life. An enjoyable mystery. Inspector Gamache is enjoyable, a little like Perot.

Begin at the beginning.. I love these books. The characters are so real. You’ll weep. You’ll rage. You will love. Enjoy the series. This is the beginning. ❤️

Loved it. Thoroughly enjoyed this one, will be sure to read more..

Still Life. Beautifully written. Not so much a mystery as a sensitive and seductive portrait of humanity. Characters finely drawn. The kind of book that not only holds one's interest from first to last but forces one to stop every now and again to chew over the deeper significance of the author's insights.

Still Life.. While reading this book, the author introduces us to the villagers @ Three Pines. They are all believable, caring people with flaws as we all have. they are a tight community which accepts each one’s flaws and idiosyncrasies and still cares for them. Good story line, characters, and plot. Have read several of Louise Penny’s novels in the series and like them all.

This book lost me by the first chapter. What a waste of $10.. Ugh, aweful. Waste of $10, and the 10 minutes it took to hate it.

Still life. Another wonderful Louise Penny.The richness of characters-the character of characters is so terrific that I regret finishing the last page. The author has another gift I love; a turn of phrase and metaphor that leads me to stop, find a notebook and capture the picture. always an enjoyable experience. Hurry and write some more!

So boring. The characters were pretty basic, writing was meh, story was so boring I just skimmed the second half.

Good mystery but shallow development of characters. Too many platitudes

Still Life. Truly enjoyed thhis book. The characters and the plot were clever. Had me laughing out loud!
