What sets him apart is the absolute devotion he receives from his peers and everyone he meets. And unlike those two great detectives, he doesn't resort to violence, or at least he hasn't been forced to yet. He doesn't have flaws or demons like Robicheaux or Hole, but he does share their extreme sensitivity in crime solving. Inspector Gamache is a smart and extremely humane hero. Let me tell you why I have fallen in love with the series. Here's a snippet from my first review of the first book in the series. It involves the murder of truly horrible woman, which wouldn't interest me had it not been for the villagers of 3 pines and Gamache himself.
This is another great story set in Three Pines. Time to get lost and find yourself in Three Pines. As a bitter wind blows into the village, something even more chilling is coming for Gamache himself. But other dangers are becoming clear to Gamache. For a Quebec winter is not only staggeringly beautiful but deadly, and the people of Three Pines know better than to reveal too much of themselves. With his trademark compassion and courage, Gamache digs beneath the idyllic surface of village life to find the dangerous secrets long buried there. Who could have been insane enough to try such a macabre method of murder - or brilliant enough to succeed? CC de Poitiers was electrocuted in the middle of a frozen lake, in front of the entire village, as she watched the annual curling tournament.
When Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, of the Sûreté du Quebec, is called to investigate, he quickly realizes he's dealing with someone quite extraordinary. CC de Poitiers managed to alienate everyone, right up until the moment of her death. Not her quiet husband, not her spineless lover, not her pathetic daughter - and certainly none of the residents of Three Pines.
Welcome to winter in Three Pines, a picturesque village in Quebec, where the villagers are preparing for a traditional country Christmas, and someone is preparing for murder.
