Although it isn't necessary to read this series in order, I
truly think if you begin the adventure with Still Life (#1) you will have a
great base for the rest of the books. I know I was grateful I read Still Life
first. I read the rest out of order, as I could find them, and appreciated the
foundation from Still Life.
I don't think I'm giving anything away, when I state that
Chief Inspector Gamache, Retired, has taken on a new job and continues his
crusade against corruption in the Surete. We are still treated to life and
times in Three Pines, but it is more in the background as supporting rather
than major.
It has been delightful reading these books, and watching Ms.
Penny grow as an author and a novelist. My biggest complaint is I can read them
faster than she can write them and get them published! Her stories are
marvelous with no gratuitous violence or sex. Her characters are well
developed, and have wonderful depth, and I love watching them interact with
each other. Oh, and Rosa, the duck with a quack impediment.
I truly wish she would publish a book of Ruth Zardo's
poetry!
