Still Life by Louise Penney

Started: 20 August 2012
Finished: 24 August 2012
Pages: 384

Yet another in the long line of mysteries I'm reading this summer.

Louise Penney is new to me, and Still Life was her first novel.  It was nominated for a number of prizes, including a British prize for best unpublished first mystery novel.  One can certainly see why.  Although the first chapter is overwritten, she gets over herself pretty quickly and puts together a nicely written murder in the Eastern Townships of Quebec.  

Recommended, if you like this sort of thing.
