The Brutal Telling

Autor Louise Penny
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2010
The wise and beleaguered Chief Inspector Armand Gamache returns to Three Pines for the fifth book in Louise Penny's award-winning and critically revered mystery series

Chaos is coming, old son.

With those words the peace of Three Pines is shattered. Everybody goes to Olivier's Bistro-including a stranger whose murdered body is found on the floor. When Chief Inspector Gamache is called to investigate, he is dismayed to discover that Olivier's story is full of holes. Why are his fingerprints all over the cabin that's uncovered deep in the wilderness, with priceless antiques and the dead man's blood? And what other secrets and layers of lies are buried in the seemingly idyllic village?

Gamache follows a trail of clues and treasures-from first editions of Charlotte's Web and Jane Eyre to a spiderweb with a word mysteriously woven in it-into the woods and across the continent, before returning to Three Pines to confront the truth and the final, brutal telling.

Recenzii

Ingenious and unexpected
The best Gamache so far
It's Louise Penny's writing which adds a glow to this book. It's not just the skill of the plot, but the way that words are never wasted and that so few of them can produce a vivid picture.
Murder, an attractive detective and terrific atmosphere . . . Impressive
An intricate, almost mythic plot, superb characters, and rich, dark humor.
Louise Penny's writing is intricate, beautiful and compelling. She is an original voice, a distillation of both PD James and Barbara Vine at their peaks and a worthy successor to both.
