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.
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.
