Vive Gamache!
After the resounding success of THE BLACK WOLF (it was the #1 book in North America, debuting at the top of the New York Times, the Globe and Mail, and other fiction bestseller lists), I’m thrilled to tell you there is another Gamache on the way.
And no, it’s not The Blue Wolf!
The 21st chapter in the lives of Armand, Jean-Guy, Clara, Myrna, Ruth et al is called MISS WOLCOTT’S GHOST.
It will be set in Three Pines and published on October 20th of this year. You can pre-order it now. I’ll tell you more about it in the coming weeks and months.

Still Life 20th anniversary edition
Twenty years ago, in 2005, STILL LIFE was published and the world was introduced to Three Pines and Chief Inspector Gamache. It was, for me, the realization of a dream I'd had since reading Charlotte's Web at the age of 8, and knowing then I wanted to write. It took me another thirty years to get up the courage. And then another seven years after that to get STILL LIFE published. But at the age of 45, I finally held my first book.
I continue to be so grateful to you for your support of the books, especially the most recent one, THE BLACK WOLF. It has exceeded all expectations. And the tour was epic with close to 2,000 people at each stop, except the more intimate Haskell Opera House, which sold out to American and Canadian audiences.
Thank you for all your support, especially in these challenging times. It is so appreciated.
Exemplary... Penny's talent for nail-biting suspense and quiet character moments fuse with surprisingly topical subject matter to deliver an unputdownable installment of an ever reliable series. Readers will cheer
How does she do it? Twenty books into her Inspector Gamache series, Penny rolls out a sequel to her bestselling Grey Wolf that’s as up to date as today’s headlines. In a world where black is white and truth is mutable, you can fool anyone, even the brilliant detective of Three Pines…This is a riveting book by one of Canada’s best
Penny has no peer... so intelligent and exciting in its construction.
