Bury Your Dead Chief Inspector Gamache Book 6 Louise Penny 9780312377045 Books

I debated a moment on my rating. 4 or 5 stars? Although this is another fabulous mystery (actually three stories woven into one incredible tapestry) I admit to being bothered by the head jumping. With no warning whatsoever, the reader is bounced between three investigations. The batting back and forth made me feel like a spectator at a tennis match. Still, kudos to Louise Penny for attempting something I've never seen before.

As the book opens, Gamache recuperates from physical, emotional, and mental wounds sustained in a case involving the attempted bombing of a large dam by a terrorist group. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and four other Surete officers were injured, and several others died. Flashbacks of the incident haunt Gamache. Did people die because of his mistakes?

While he rests, he gets involved in another murder in the old part of Quebec City involving a national hero.

The next paragraph, may transport the reader to a scene in Three Pines. Having second thoughts about Olivier's guilt, Gamache sent Inspector Beauvoir to reopen the investigation. (To understand this, you must read the previous book, The Brutal Telling.)

This book is heavy on the history of Quebec and its early heroes. Good for readers who adore history, as I do, but the recital sometimes slows the action. Louise Penny possesses amazing insight into the human psyche, as she proves once again by including so much about twisted motives that drive men to murder.

Bury Your Dead Chief Inspector Gamache Book 6 Louise Penny 9780312377045 Books Reviews

Her descriptions of Quebec City convinced us to go there, and glad we did. A beautiful place. And we took a walking tour based on places mentioned in Bury Your Dead including the Morrin Centre (library where the Lit-His Society met) and the place where Penny wrote much of the book.
Several stories are woven into one. There are few breaks in the text and she inserts paragraphs about the Morin case frequently without warning. I never knew what was actually occurring, what was recollection in Gamache's mind. Better narrative organization would have helped. For this reason I can't give it a five-star. If you've read the previous volume in this series, it would help.

Still, an interesting creative read with lots of detail about the life of the small Anglophone community in Francophone Quebec City.
For people who love literary fiction and mystery novels, I can't praise this series enough. I've read every book in it, and each was excellent. This one is my favorite. It's set in Quebec City, where we plan to vacation this summer (thanks to the book!). The Beautiful Mystery (set in a monastery), is my next favorite, but each book brings new poetry, more enlightenment, and a bit of French vocabulary,--all the while getting deeper into the beloved, recurring characters of "Three Pines," a fictional Canadian village that people find when they need it, and introducing new ones. It isn't necessary to read the books in order, but you'll probably enjoy the evolution of the characters even more if you do. I didn't think any mystery writer could replace Dorothy Sayers for me. I'm so glad to have found this one.
Hands down my FAVORITE book of this series so far. One storyline is tragic and compelling, incredibly unfolding in flashbacks, while the murder-mystery storyline is set in Quebec City in winter--beautifully described throughout. I found myself caring so much about these characters--as they tried to catch a killer in Quebec City, set right a wrong in Three Pines, and relive the incident that haunts them all. I could not put this one down! (But be sure to start this series from Book 1 and read them all--investing in these characters makes this particular book all that much more powerful, for sure.)
While this is far from my favorite installment in the series it still gets 4 stars due to the authors exceptional writing. Part of the "back story" was obviously very sad and that was alright. The section about Bauvoir was good too. Now it was the section following Inspector Gamache that was a bit hard for me to follow along with. I suppose if I was a life long Canadian or better yet a life long Qubecoise I'm sure I would have embraced it a whole lot more.
That being said I'll be starting the next book in a few days.
All in all don't pass it by due to it being part of the series.
Other reviews say it, but it bears repeating. This is the best yet, yet at times emotionally hard to read. Over the series I have wanted to pack up and move to Three Pines. I have been to Carnaval in Quebec City a few times--it's not far from where I live in Maine. I want to play Ruth in the movie version. Penny gets personalities in all their richness and complexity. I feel like I know these people. And this installment comes along and you have to watch as these "friends" work through considerable and various pain. One must go on to the next one...
I love Louise Penny books and have read them in sequence. This is the first one I struggled to finish. The story line involving Canadian history just got a bit tedious. Being American, I knew nothing of the history of Quebec. Although I'm interested in history in general, it just got a bit hard to slog through the long story line. Ms Penny usually has multiple story lines and I enjoyed the secondary story involving Oliver's guilt or innocence. I will continue to work my way through the rest of these wonderful books since I am hooked on her writing. I believe her to be an extremely skilled writer with a keen sense of humor. If you want to skip one of her series of Gamache novels...this would be the one.
