Have worked my way through inspector Gamache series and have loved every one. I am about to start the lady and I believe the most recent, The Madness of Crowds .
I would recommend Charles Todd series as well.

Twenty pages of fluff

I picked up this book as part of Kindle Unlimited and am glad I didn’t pay for it. I was sure I had missed a book because I read a lot of them out of order. It didn’t help with that and didn’t include any of the personal issues in Gamache’s life. It was enough info to let me know if I read the books, but I can’t figure out what use it would be to a new reader.

Loved the series in the beginning, but the characters have become repetitious and some are too vulgar. I continue like the characters outside Three Pines, but I have become bored with the villagers. The language has problems, as though the editor was not paying attention, in the later books. I would whole-heartedly recommend the books until the Paris book; after that, not so much.

Good information if you haven't read the books yet

I think he did a great job of delivering
information without spoilers. That is a difficult task with how much is going on in each book. I appreciate all the extra information about the awards each book received or was nominated for. Also, it was appreciated that he even gave information about the made for TV movie.

fantastic series

Delightful characters, beautiful imagery of Three Pines and Armand Gamache and his team solving mysteries. Some historical fiction based in Canada. I enjoy big books (Michener , King). I started craving croissants! Sadly, I am starting the last of the series.

Reading sequentially

This book helped me know what I have missed by not reading books in order but did not give me a snippet of the precious so I had a lead in from one book into the next one.
Consequently there no way to know how the books connect.

Excellent writer, wonderful character development. LOVE!

It isn't a story. It's just a listing of the Three Pines books and why you should read them all and in order. Short summary of each book. And some reviews.

short but very informative

Worth while reading. Gives a clear idea of what this series is about. Might be better to include some of the odder characters.
