I'm now on Book 9 (How the Light Gets In), so I don't know if I can even give you specifics on the first book in the series, but the general gist of the series follows the cases and life of Inspector Armand Gamache, chief of the the Sûreté du Québec, along with some of his most trusted agents, as they track down killers (and find rank corruption within the Sûreté itself). Penny does an extraordinary job painting us a picture of Gamache and his crew, along with the wilds of Canada and especially the tiny town of Three Pines. Three Pines (as many of the tiny towns found in murder mystery series) has an inordinate amount of death compared to actual tiny towns, but that doesn't detract from the magical quality of the village and the people within it. I've been listening to the whole series, so nearly as much praise goes to Ralph Cosham, the narrator of the series, whose voice just draws you in and keeps you listening. If you're looking for your next murder mystery series, add this to the list!
