Commentary 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.Mention Books In Pursuance Of A Trick of the Light (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache #7)

4 starsLouise Penny just won't quit with this series of all-star reads. My friends and family are tired of hearing about her, and my bookshelf is groaning under the weight of all the books I'm collecting at top speed. I just can't encapsulate with words how much joy, hope, and happiness I get from reading these books. A Trick of the Light is #7 in the series featuring Canadian detective Armand Gamache and the cast of characters in the small village of Three Pines, located south of Montreal. InThis series just gets better and better. Characters you can imagine being enemies and others that would be dear friends, a village where you want to live, food you want to eat...truly amazing writing that brings everything out in vivid color. Penny does a masterful job adding details like fine brush strokes to characters you thought you knew. This is a nasty view of the petty infighting and jealousies behind the curtains of the art world. This book echoes the best works of Agatha Christie.
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
