Description Toward 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 About Books A Trick of the Light (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache #7)

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 reviewsFirst Sentence: Oh, no, no, no, thought Clara Morrow as she walked toward the closed doors.

I dabble in reading mysteries - I enjoy them, but I don't generally seek them out. Louise Penny is an exception to this rule. These days, she's the one mystery author I will actively seek out, often borrowing copies of her books we've given to my mother or mother-in-law. Her books are always a pleasure to read, combining well-crafted mysteries with wonderful characters.Note: The rest of this review has been withdrawn due to the changes in Goodreads policy and enforcement.

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. In
It'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
An Intriguing Whodunit.The author has won several awards for her novels, and after reading A Trick of the Light, my first crime novel purchased in several years, I can appreciate why. I enjoyed this book very much as the story had an intriguing murder mystery to solve along with several interesting characters each with their own sorrows and tales to divulge. Move over Detective Poirot, Chief Inspector Gamache is indeed a force to be reckoned with.
This is another well-written and suspenseful installment in this wonderful series. I never tire of Louse Penny's stories. It's been rewarding to follow and keep up with Gamache and his newest endeavors, and Three Pines is a welcome place. I love the humor and warmth in Louise Penny's writing. I'm ready to read number 8! Thanks to Goodreads, the author, and the publisher, I received a complimentary copy of this book.
