"Penny has been compared to Agatha Christie [but] it sells
her short. Her characters are too rich, her grasp of nuance
and human psychology too firm...." —Booklist (starred review)
“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 Montreal. Chief Inspector Gamache, the head
of homicide at the Sûreté du Québec, is called to the tiny
Quebec 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.
