'Three Pines is made up of good people, but one of us is festering.' The discovery of a dead body in the woods on Thanksgiving Weekend brings Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his colleagues from the S'rete du Quebec to a small village in the Eastern Townships. Gamache cannot understand why anyone would want to deliberately kill well-loved artist Jane Neal, especially any of the residents of Three Pines - a place so free from crime it doesn't even have its own police force. But Gamache knows that evil is lurking somewhere behind the white picket fences and that, if he watches closely enough, Three Pines will start to give up its dark secrets...

I couldn't put it down' -- Margaret Yorke 'What a joy it is to discover a detective like Armand Gamache: strong, calm and charismatic, and at work on a good mystery in a believable setting' -- Peter Lovesey 'An excellent, subtle plot, full of understanding of the deeper places in human nature and many wise observations that will enrich long after the pages are closed' -- Anne Perry 'A very clever book!
