Bury Your Dead is a novel about life and death—and all the mystery that remains—from #1 New York Times bestselling author Louise Penny
Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is on break from duty in Three Pines to attend the famed Winter Carnival up north. He has arrived in this beautiful, freezing city not to join the revels but to recover from an investigation gone hauntingly wrong. Still, violent death is inescapable—even here, in the apparent sanctuary of the Literary and Historical Society, where one obsessive academic’s quest for answers will lead Gamache down a dark path. . .
Meanwhile, Gamache is receiving disturbing news from his hometown village. Beloved bistro owner Olivier was recently convicted of murder but everyone—including Gamache—believes that he is innocent. Who is behind this sinister plot? Now it’s up to Gamache to solve this killer case. . .and relive a terrible event from his own past before he can begin to bury his dead.
“Few writers in any genre can match Penny’s ability to combine heartbreak and hope.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
My Review
Louise Penny did it again with another fantastic Three Pines Book in my opinion. I loved how this came together and tied in nicely with the book before it The Brutal Telling. Before reading this book I would highly suggest reading The Brutal Telling because this book builds on that book.
I love how in this story you follow two separate mysteries both involving Chief Inspector Gamache. One of the mysteries revisits a previous mystery from The Brutal Telling and the second mystery takes place in another town with a whole new set of characters. This book is about healing for some of the well-known characters along with devastation for others in her previous books in the series.
I love how Penny has a way of writing that just fully immerses you into the story and has a way of making you care about the characters. In my opinion, if you are looking for a book that captures you and makes you long to visit a fictional world with fantastic characters then these are the books for you. The Chief Inspector Armand Gamache Series also known as the Three Pines Series are my favorite mysteries to date.
