Book Description
On a cold November morning, a jogger runs through the woods in the peaceful Quebec village of Three Pines. On his run, he finds a dead man hanging from a tree. The dead man was a guest at the local Inn and Spa. He might have been looking for peace and quiet, but something else found him. Something horrible. Did the man take his own life? Or was he murdered? Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is called to the crime scene. As Gamache follows the trail of clues, he opens a door into the past. And he learns the true reason why the man came to Three Pines. This is a quick and easy read for people on the go.

My Review
This was a very short read and it was actually written for a Canadian Literacy Program. I did enjoy it, however, and was not able to guess the murderer. It was another short visit to Three Pines. I love that little country town and the people who live there. I've read all of Louise Penny's books in this series and am anxiously awaiting the next book that comes out next week. I would recommend this book to those who have enjoyed her other books and to those who want a sample visit to Three Pines.
