Still Life by Louise Penny
Still Life

Robin Wood, January 1, 2012

I am a latecomer to this series by Louise Penny, but I've found each book in the series to be outstanding (I'm at A Rule Against Murder, so far). The writing is excellent, the books are funny, but I think what stands out the most is the humanness of the characters. Not just the villains, but all of the characters, who are good people mostly, but in some cases are obnoxious, but brilliant, or refusing to try, or distracted by a good breakfast. The books make me want to visit the village of Three Pines, despite the regular occurrence of murder there.
