The Brutal Telling (Chief Inspector Gamache, Bk 5)
reviewed on + 17 more book reviews


Louise Penny started out with a good idea: A French Canadian Detective who meanders through the bureaucratic miasma of two cultures to bring justice to the people of Quebec.
Temp pied. She fell in love with her MINOR characters and just would not let them go, so she murders them off at a rate that would make Jessica Fletcher blush.
With the exception of her novel concerning the death of a French explorer, subsequent novels h, including this one add nothing to your store of knowledge, or human nature. I'm passing on all future books.
