Interpretation Conducive To Books A Trick of the Light (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache #7)
"Hearts are broken," Lillian Dyson carefully underlined in a book. "Sweet relationships are dead."But now Lillian herself is dead. Found among the bleeding hearts and lilacs of Clara Morrow's garden in Three Pines, shattering the celebrations of Clara's solo show at the famed Musée in Montréal. Chief Inspector Gamache, the head of homicide at the Sûreté du Québec, is called to the tiny Québec village and there he finds the art world gathered, and with it a world of shading and nuance, a world of shadow and light. Where nothing is as it seems. Behind every smile there lurks a sneer. Inside every sweet relationship there hides a broken heart. And even when facts are slowly exposed, it is no longer clear to Gamache and his team if what they've found is the truth, or simply a trick of the light.

After a great deal of self-exploration in the past novel, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is back in another police procedural penned by the fabulous Louise Penny. After a long career as an artist, Three Pines resident Clara Morrow has secured a solo exhibition of her work at a high-end gallery in Montreal. Many of the big names in the local and international art scene have flocked to see what is going on, including Gamache and his second in command, Jean Guy Beauvoir. Eager to see the reviewsIt's good to be back with Armand again. I've been catching up with the series steadily and enjoyed all the books I've read. This one I found particularly good. In addition to the usual themes of Three Pines this one has a focus on alcoholism and I found that aspect powerful and I'm guessing well researched. There is the ongoing issues of trouble in the Surete although that is background theme for this one. There is comfort for me in a Gamache book and Louise Penny manages to bring in a deep
This is definitely a series which is improved by reading the books in order. By this stage, book 7, the reader and the characters have become friends and Three Pines a place to look forward to visiting.I really enjoyed A Trick of the Light and read it in one evening though I must admit I stayed up very late indeed to finish it! I was well rewarded though by that last little bit about Ruth. I do hope it really is what she has been waiting for!The theme of this book is probably forgiveness and
First Sentence: Oh, no, no, no, thought Clara Morrow as she walked toward the closed doors. Artist Clara Morrows first major art show in Montreal was stressful enough, without finding a body in her garden in Three Pines the following morning. Although uninvited to the local after-party, the woman is one Clara and her husband, Peter, had both known. Inspector Armand Gamache and his second, Jean Guy Bouvier transition from being friends of this small communitys residents, to being investigators
Without a doubt, this is the best book I've read so far in this series (they must be read in order, but don't worry the whole series is lovely). What can I say about this book? After the last book took us outside of the town of Three Pines, I was happy to return to it and all it's murderous wonder. Truly the town does have a murder problem, but if you ignore that inconvenient fact I would absolutely live in this completely fictional place. It's all about the townspeople, I mean characters. This
Previously on Goodreads, my review for book 6On Friday, June 2nd, 2017, I got an email letting me know that my work library would be hosting an author event with Louise Penny on September 5th.I think that was the first time I felt twisted up and punched in the throat over Mom since she died.It was more than just the "We were reading these together" story, though; there's some residual guilt that's not warranted but I can't get rid of, regardless.After she'd first started chemo, or maybe she was
The Light Pours InTrick of the Light is a fascinating story. At its center are two relationships, one is a marriage, the other a working relationship. Both are longstanding and have been very productive, loving and supportive. Both are in serious peril of d disintegrating. Against this backdrop Chief Inspector Gamache is searching for a killer. This is the first Penny book Ive read and it wont be the last. In my opinion it ranks right up there with Patricia Highsmith and Barbara Vine (Ruth
