Reviews"A superior read. Bring on the awards." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Few writers in any genre can match Penny's ability to combine heartbreak and hope in the same scene." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The best yet, a true tour de force of storytelling....Penny hits every note perfectly in what is one of the most elaborately constructed and remarkably moving mysteries in years." -- Booklist (starred review) "Superb....brilliantly provocative...will appeal to fans of literary fiction, as well as to mystery lovers." -- Library Journal (starred review) "[Penny's] beautifully elegiac sixth book interweaves three storylines while plumbing the depths of Gamache's grief. The result is sophisticated and moving -- her best yet." -- People (4 stars) "Louise Penny's portrait of Quebec City is as lovingly detailed and evocative as anything she has written, and her control over this intricate blending of history and mystery is absolute. Furthermore, the deepening of Gamache's character is profoundly satisfying. The book, obviously, is a must-read for her fans, and demonstrates once again that she is in the first rank of crime-fiction writers in Canada, or indeed, in the world." -- Globe and Mail "Penny seamlessly weaves subplots into her elegant book, along with rich portraits of Inspector Gamache and the endearingly cracked characters around him." -- Seattle Times "Its shocking final solution here is brilliantly conceived and executed." -- The Denver Post "Penny, always a demon researcher, is at the top of her game in the new book at combining real history with her own fictions. In addition to a great deal of Champlain back story - only a specialist in early Quebec history could judge whether Penny is letting her imagination run rampant - she presents in passing theories about Gen. Montcalm's failures at the Plains of Abraham and an assessment of the sad dwindling of the English presence in Quebec City." -- Toronto Star "Fans who were upset by the shocking outcome of Penny's 'The Brutal Telling' will be pleased that she is not quite done with that unhappy episode in our favorite village. This series just keeps getting better." -- Charlotte Observer "Louise Penny commands a deep and disturbing darkness of the soul -- with the cost of redemption resolutely figured into the consequences." -- Brattleboro Reformer "With a rich depth of creativity, a stylish sense of language and an unerring instinct for the defining aspects of humanity, Penny explores eternal truths and, in so doing, shows us ourselves." -- Richmond Times Dispatch

The bodies of the dead are buried, but their lives still impact the living.
This is number 6 in the series and the best so far. The first four books were a build up of characters and locations, and the fifth book expanded more broadly and involved an expansion of the characters and of writing technique. Number 6, "Bury Your Dead" is a masterpiece of a writer's skill in carrying present and past threads of the story along two parallel lines. In my opinion the books should be read in order to fully appreciate both the development of the characters and environment as well as the stories themselves.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Great author!
Louise Penny is one of my favorite (newly discovered) authors! After reading one of her later books I am going back to find the entire series and reading them in order. Buying them from Goodwill Industries is a great value and also contributing to a good cause.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Great mystery
This is part of a series of mysteries by Louise Penny. Although each book technically stands on its own, it is more fun to start with the first book and follow the sequence. The first book is called "Still Life". The series has great dialogue, interesting characters (certain characters reappear throughout the series), and some very witty writing.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
