THIRD MONDAY DETECTIVES

We had a wonderful meeting December 21st and enjoyed one another and discussing Emily Brightwell's Mrs. Jeffries In the Nick of Time. Susie brought a hummingbird cake for all to share.

Our selection for January is Still Life (Armand Gamache Series #1) by Louise Penny. This first mystery, Still Life, was the winner of the New Blood Dagger, Arthur Ellis, Barry, Anthony, and Dilys awards.

The New York Times - Marilyn Stasio
… like her neighbors in the picturesque Canadian village of Three Pines, the dear old thing had hidden depths, courtesy of an author whose deceptively simple style masks the complex patterns of a well-devised plot - rather like the subtle designs of Jane’s "primitive" pictures. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec, who is as bemused as we are by life in Three Pines, has the wit and insight to look well beyond its idyllic surface.

When you've finished the novel you'll want to visit Three Pines. Please join us January 18th at 10:00 a.m. in the B&N Cafe.
