    • Honestly I enjoyed watching the show but I wished they had left the three main Sûreté du Québec characters as they were in the book and not fiddled with the death events of Armand’s parents plus he was a much younger boy when they died . Ending the show abruptly with that cliffhanger ending was a slap in the face to all of us who watched the progression. I guess it didn’t attract as many viewers as some of their other ensemble shows . But we have the books to cheer us on !

  2. Have purchased all 18 and currently reading Glass Houses (13). Louise your books are brilliant and I have enjoyed each and every book. Thank you for the many hours of interesting and enjoyable reading and your characters well simply the best. I would also like to say I have enjoyed State of Terror written with Hiliary Clinton, when is your next one together? Once again thank you and we are hoping you are going to write many more in the Gamache series.

  3. I’m reading #17, but I already read 18. I read many out of order. Penny is my favorite author. Can’t wait for 19. I didn’t like the series on TV. Characters were too far from the description in the books. Whoever chose the actors for the series probably didn’t read her books.

  4. I read all 18 of the Gamache books in less than 3 months! Totally loved them. Have been waiting for 19 for a year. Please hurry with 19 and then with book 20. It’s been a long time.

  5. When I finished the last book I felt like I had lost my family. How could I go on without them? They were much more than just stories. They were filled with wisdom and laughter as well as grief and the follies of human nature. I am looking forward to a diminished memory so that I can love them all over again.

  7. Luise Penny hat diese spezielle Gabe, dem Leser das Gefühl zu geben, er lebt mit den Figuren in Three Pines. Der Autorin gelingt es, eine imaginäre Verbindung zu den detailliert beschriebenen Charakteren herzustellen. Mir sind mittlerweile nach den 18 Bänden die Person so vertraut, als wären sie meine Nachbarn und Freunde. Ich warte schon auf das nächste Buch und das Thema, das sie anspricht.
