Book six of the Three Pines series, this one was even more complex and switches quickly from location and time frame. Difficult to follow at times, but still an engrossing read that encompasses Champlain, a disastrous hostage situation,…

(spoiler alert! stop here) I have read that many people loved this addition to the series. Not so much for me -- too much introspection, especially in the middle where I came to a dead stop. Tried to just read the end to see what…

I discovered Inspector Gamache due to Amazon's "Three Pines" series and have been reading the books in order. There is a lot more introspection than action in the books and they are very focussed on internal dialogues. This book was…

On the heels of The Brutal Telling, Bury Your Dead is another dark book (although some might argue that, by definition, a murder mystery WOULD be dark). This book does bring some closure to the unanswered questions from The Brutal Telling…

The sixth book of the Inspector Gamache series is important because it is here that the raid in the factory is finally described in detail. You understand that I have been signing these books out from the library which means I am not…

The fifth book in the Inspector Gamache series, Bury Your Dead is one of the saddest and tense stories. The tension drives the reader to read faster, in an effort to relieve the tension. Much has happened since the last novel and that is…

It’s always painful and sad to read when a good character dies. As always Louise Penny’s books are memorable and touching

You really do need to read this series in the order the author wrote the books. I had some trouble with this one as it moves between story lines with no warning. You do get used to that as you move through the book. I found it to be a…

I didn’t give this book a full five stars because of my one, albeit small, annoyance at Louise Penny’s writing. There is too much reliance in her books on the cultural stereotypes about Canada’s two solitudes. We are constantly reminded…

BURY YOUR DEAD is the sixth book in the Chief Inspector Gamache Series by author Louise Penny, and for me, it’s the best so far. The past collides with the present in this intricate tale that juggles multiple mysteries and storylines.…

Reading an Inspector Gamache mystery is like visiting with old friends. You learn something new, but you still know the basics.

I'm late to the party, but enjoying this series. I particularly loved the non-cozy/cozy overlap in this one!

I was amazed how the author developed 3 storylines in one novel and tied them together into an interesting novel. Perhaps 2 more plotlines could be added if one considers the baffling clue about Montcalm's assistant arriving too late to…

Normally, I enjoy Louise Penny books; but, this one was too drawn out and repetitive. Took too long for the story to unfold and resolve. There were many flashbacks, and many of them started at the same point and unfolded a little bit more.…

I read two other Louise Penny books about Armand Gamache and enjoyed them. One was set in a monastery deep in the forest. The other was a murder in a cafe in Three Pines. This one was a tedious and too dark. I t was set in Quebec City,…

The author brings life to every aspect of the book!

Fairly good narrative and solid characterizations. Would have preferred italics or some other device for the flashbacks as this slowed the pace especially at the beginning as you get used to the author's style. Though backstory…

This is one author best-read in chronological order of the publishing dates. I find the three murder stories that are intertwined a little too confusing. It would be more relaxing to read this novel if there was only one or two murder…

Just as well written as the previous books in the Three Pines series, this one is a little more dis-jointed, having three stories to tell, and maybe one too many (the episiode that haunts Gamache throughout this book.) Lots of interesting…
