" A New York Times Notable Crime Book and Favorite Cozy for 2011A Publishers Weekly Best Mystery/Thriller books for 2011 With A Trick of the Light , Louise Penny takes us back to the deceptively peaceful village of Three Pines in this brilliant novel in her award-winning, New York Times bestselling series featuring Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. Hearts are broken, Lillian Dyson carefully underlined in a book. Sweet relationships are dead. But now Lillian herself is dead. Found among the bleeding hearts and lilacs of Clara Morrow's garden in Three Pines, shattering the celebrations of Clara's solo show at the famed Musée in Montreal. Chief Inspector Gamache, the head of homicide at the Sûreté du Québec, is called to the tiny Quebec village and there he finds the art world gathered, and with it a world of shading and nuance, a world of shadow and light. Where nothing is as it seems. Behind every smile there lurks a sneer. Inside every sweet relationship there hides a broken heart. And even when facts are slowly exposed, it is no longer clear to Gamache and his team if what they've found is the truth, or simply a trick of the light. Penny has been compared to Agatha Christie [but] it sells her short. Her characters are too rich, her grasp of nuance and human psychology too firm 8212 Booklist (starred review) "

The death of an art critic prompts a murder investigation that is tightly woven with a number of subplots and backstories. The author's dry humor becomes all the more evident in Cosham's subtle reading style. He pronounces French words with ease and uses accented English to help create an authentic setting. Through gentle characterization he helps to create a likable cast of characters. On occasion, however, his approach can be too subtle for the swift changes in scene and can result in momentary confusion. This problem may be less of an issue for listeners who are familiar with the series. K.J.P. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine"
