"A Fatal Grace"


Another wonderful Mystery set in the tiny Quebec town of Three Pines. The investigator is once again Chief Inspector Armand Gamache with his trusty little troupe. I enjoyed this book, a quickish read. Not quite a cozy, but not really hard-boiled or police procedural either. A mix, I guess. The quirky cast are still quirky and I find myself smiling at them often. Incidentally, the murder..in the same house!! Different people!! I continue to love these books with different setting where you learn about another culture, or subculture. My shocker this time...mayonnaise on french fries. Well, I have a dd who puts sweet and sour sauce on them.

Anyway, another really good mystery. I have the last in the series here already (got them together from the library so I am starting that. Then I will move on to the next Lumby saga..something a little mellow.

Some of My Favorite Recently read books

  • The Cedar Cove series by Debbie Macomber. This series has 6 books in it currently. They explore the lives and times of the residents of Cedar Cove, Washington. The characters in this series are fun because they are so varied. I will admit, I would like to know about some of them. They are old and young, rich and poor, happy and struggling. They do all connect together and they all appear in each book, along with new characters all the time. The books are quick reads. I was very sad when they were done. I cant wait for the next installment of this series to come out in Sept. 2007. Visit Debbies Cedar Cove website for more and pic :http://www.debbiemacomber.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=page&pageID=6
