About this listen

As Quebec City shivers in the grip of winter, its ancient stone walls cracking in the cold, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache plunges into the strangest case of his celebrated career. A man has been brutally murdered in one of the city’s oldest buildings - a library where the English citizens of Quebec safeguard their history. And the death opens a door into the past, exposing a mystery that has lain dormant for centuries... a mystery Gamache must solve if he’s to catch a present-day killer. Steeped in luscious atmosphere, brimming with the suspense and wit that have earned Louise Penny a massive global following, Bury Your Dead is the most ingenious suspense novel of the year.

This series is hands down the best I have ever read. The auditable narration by Adam Simms is also fantastic.

Amazing.

I've enjoyed all the books so far in this series but this is my favourite.Three intertwined story threads each of them fascinating meant that I listened to this at every possible moment. There is a mix of location and time and a drawing together of past narratives, altogether great value

Three investigations in one book

But the story dragged a bit in the middle. Will still be getting the next one though …..

Narration seemed less harsh than previous volume

Really living this series. So worth while reading them in order. Love finding out more and more about the characters. Makes me want to visit Quebec, wish 3 Pines was real.

Getting to know characters even more.

not as enjoyable as previous books in this series. The sub plot of the terrorist attack was more interesting than the actual plot. Have I missed a book? Has this actually been explored and I've accidentally missed it? hm, I will have to check....

Bit convoluted

Worthy sequel, resolving past mysteries with a fun historical twist. Excellently performed. I choose the audiobooks specifically for the performance.

Excellent story telling

This was wonderful. So descriptive, atmospheric, sad and joyful. There are several threads running throughout. Just wonderful! Beautifully written and narrated as usual. I love how much the characters have developed through their cases, experiences and life. On to the next.

6* book!

I thought Louise Penny really upped her game even further with this the sixth Inspector Gamache novel. Not just a development of the Three Pines stories but embracing the difficult political and social scene in Quebec City to give a great insight into the still smouldering tensions between the French and English communities. The narrator does a superlative job throughout and is one of the key reasons I'm binge listening this series.

The best so far
