I read a lot of mystery authors. Some are good and some not so much. But Louise Penny understands that CHARACTERS make the story interesting. They make her stories alive in a way that all the formulaic things American authors write can never do!So I love this series by Louise Penny. The characters are always charming and well-presented. Even the ones you love to hate are well done. But I find Gamache - and his right hand man, Beauvoir. remarkably complex, well-crafted characters who draw you into the story and hold you close. Not just for the solution to the story, but for the observance of the interaction between those two and their associates and various other characters in the story. This story was like watching a pair of birds building a nest on a leisurely spring morning......beautiful and magical. Had glimpses as to who had committed the murder, but was wrong, as usual, with her stories. The motive I never caught, not guessed at. This is a don't miss. But read her things in order.
