A Rule Against Murder

I enjoy Louise Penny's writing

What did you love best about A Rule Against Murder?

I've read all of Louise Penny's books. She is a wonderful and gifted writer. When I saw her books on Audible I started listening to the books. I have enjoyed the retelling of each story. The voice of Ralph Cosham is so soothing. Just like I would imagine Inspector Gamache sounding if he were a real person.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I enjoy Inspector Gamache so much. His relationship with each of the people he works with is so soundly developed. His relationship with his wife is so soothing and mature.

What about Ralph Cosham’s performance did you like?

As I stated before Mr. Cosham sounds as though he could be a Inspector Gamache if there was such a person in reality. So charming and mature.

You're going to have fun trying to solve this one!

Take a vacation from Three Pines, and follow Gamache and handful of your other favorites to a new setting and another unique murder. You're going to have fun trying to solve this one! If you're like me, you'll be shouting your guesses at the narrator and then second guessing yourself with each new chapter.

Full of picturesque descriptions, you'll feel like you, too, are having a lovely lakeside retreat. And you're going to LOVE how this story connects to those you know and love from Three Pines. Just wait until you meet this family!

Good but the ending

I love the narration, the humor, the mystery but this one I did not like the ending. I appreciate a twist this time it was both too obvious AND out of nowhere t the same time. Clues that were not shared so that the reader had no chance to come to the same conclusion.

Another great story

The character development continues to get better and better. Such likable people even when they do unlikeable things! And Ralph Cosham is the perfect narrator. A perfect blend of French and English in a rich and alluring voice. I get lost in the moment every time I "pick the book back up"!

Another Gamache Hit!

Who thought Louise Penny could come up with murder in a place just as charming as Three Pines? In this book she does. Her character and place development are as good as always.

slow but intriguing

the story took some time to gain any steam, and the narrator wasn't great at differentiating female voices also hard to listen to this book in the car at the end of the workday because of the cadence of the narrator and British accent. basically good murder mystery, but not sure if I'd pursue others featuring the main character or the narrator.

A bit lacking in characters

Good book but it lacked the interactions with the characters we have grown to know and love. No Ruth. Good story though

I, on the other hand, love murder

Agathe Christie-like story, although slightly less clinical. This was the first Gamache-book I listened or read, and I've come to expect certain things from the series, but was happy to find the story was new and had the complexity of a great detective tv-show.

Magical Forest

This book reminds me of the magical truth forest in Shakespeare's Midsummer's Night Dream. These books don't have the feel of murder mysteries may be because the author slips in hard truths. Dr. T.
