A Fatal Grace: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel (Chief Inspector Gamache Novel, 2)
Description
Read the series that inspired Three Pines on Prime Video. From the 1 New York
Times bestseller Louise Penny comes the second Armand Gamache mystery set in
the stunning countryside of Quebec. Winner of the 2007 Agatha Award for Best
Novel! Welcome to winter in Three Pines, a picturesque village in Quebec,
where the villagers are preparing for a traditional country Christmas, and
someone is preparing for murder. No one liked CC de Poitiers. Not her quiet
husband, not her spineless lover, not her pathetic daughter―and certainly none
of the residents of Three Pines. CC de Poitiers managed to alienate everyone,
right up until the moment of her death. When Chief Inspector Armand Gamache,
of the Sûreté du Quebec, is called to investigate, he quickly realizes he’s
dealing with someone quite extraordinary. CC de Poitiers was electrocuted in
the middle of a frozen lake, in front of the entire village, as she watched
the annual curling tournament. And yet no one saw anything. Who could have
been insane enough to try such a macabre method of murder―or brilliant enough
to succeed? With his trademark compassion and courage, Gamache digs beneath
the idyllic surface of village life to find the dangerous secrets long buried
there. For a Quebec winter is not only staggeringly beautiful but deadly, and
the people of Three Pines know better than to reveal too much of themselves.
But other dangers are becoming clear to Gamache. As a bitter wind blows into
the village, something even more chilling is coming for Gamache himself. Read
