About this listen

As Quebec City shivers in the grip of winter, its ancient stone walls cracking in the cold, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache plunges into the strangest case of his celebrated career. A man has been brutally murdered in one of the city’s oldest buildings - a library where the English citizens of Quebec safeguard their history. And the death opens a door into the past, exposing a mystery that has lain dormant for centuries... a mystery Gamache must solve if he’s to catch a present-day killer. Steeped in luscious atmosphere, brimming with the suspense and wit that have earned Louise Penny a massive global following, Bury Your Dead is the most ingenious suspense novel of the year.

But the story dragged a bit in the middle. Will still be getting the next one though …..

Narration seemed less harsh than previous volume

This was wonderful. So descriptive, atmospheric, sad and joyful. There are several threads running throughout. Just wonderful! Beautifully written and narrated as usual. I love how much the characters have developed through their cases, experiences and life. On to the next.

6* book!

This series is hands down the best I have ever read. The auditable narration by Adam Simms is also fantastic.

Amazing.

Worthy sequel, resolving past mysteries with a fun historical twist. Excellently performed. I choose the audiobooks specifically for the performance.

Excellent story telling

Rarely have I been lulled into lives so filled with laughter and joy, and admittedly the occasional murder, only to have the harsh reality of real life invade that world.
Ms. Penny just broke my heart!
But time, and tide, will heal it again.
I still want to live in Three Pines and have Gamache as a neighbour, along with Clara and even Ruth, but I need a breather after this volume, I guess I'm not as strong as I look..... Beautifully crafted Ms. Penny !

Spent most of this book in tears!
