The award-winning debut of the beloved, unforgettable, #1 bestselling Armand Gamache series, back in hardcover in a gorgeous 20th Anniversary Edition. In 2005, with Still Life, bestselling author Louise Penny introduced her iconic mystery series starring Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sur t du Qu bec and his team of investigators as they are called into the scene of a suspicious death in a picturesque rural village somewhere south of Montreal, a village not found on any map, a village with three majestic pine trees presiding over the village green, a sign to weary travelers that they had reached a place of safety. Still Life is the beginning of not only an engaging series starring Inspector Gamache--a man whose integrity and quiet courage, whose humanity, is an example to everyone around him--but also the launch of one of the most dynamic voices in popular fiction today.
