In reply to Kristin. I'm so glad! Don't return- pass it on to someone you know. Or leave in a Little Free Library if you don't know any other Louise Penny lovers.

In reply to Catherine. It arrived! I'm so excited! Once I finish, I'll send it back, or let me know if there is someone else in line for your copy and I can pass it on!

In reply to Renee (Itsbooktalk). I'm not sure I'd like the audio. Her sentences are so lovely, I feel as if reading them is better. Still Life is a bit slow, but give it another chance!

I think your reviews and excitement for this series are the final push I need to try it again. I tried the audio of Still Life a couple years ago and thought it was super slow so gave up, thinking the series wasn’t for me. But I love mysteries and everyone seems to rave about this author so I think I’ll try again in print, starting from the beginning. I hate feeling like I’m missing out:)

In reply to Amy Freeny.

Welcome! Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting.

You got to meet Louise Penny?!! I’m so jealous. She is absolutely marvelous.

I would highly recommend Elizabeth George. She writes mysteries in the same way Penny does- fabulous, interesting core characters with more of a psychological bent to the mysteries. It’s the Inspector Lynley series. There are 20 and they’re each fairly long so you’ll be set for a good while!

I just found your blog today while listening to you on a recent episode of the podcast “What should I Read Next”. I was particularly excited to hear you raving about Louise Penny, who I had the pleasure of seeing at a local author night just last week, a few days after her most recent book was released. She is my favorite author at the moment. I’ve read her entire series twice, but for the most recent book, which I’m saving for just the right time.

While waiting for seemingly forever for the latest book to be released I found myself searching for another author/series to fill the void, but have not been successful. She set the bar very high.

Do you have any recommendations for an author or series similar to Ms. Penny that might reasonably fill the time until another Gamache novel is released? I love her mix of mystery, character development and wonderful prose.

Thanks! I look forward to exploring your blog, reading your reviews, and hopefully finding many new books to add to my tbr stack!

In reply to Sarah's Book Shelves. Don't let it dissuade you! It's just not one of her strongest mysteries but everything else in the book is WOW. Major changes and surprises.
