Each book in this marvelous series ( http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/p/louise-penny) explores and develops the characters of both the townsfolk and the detective squad -- they meet, interact, and grow together as they learn to trust one another. |
With a review like that, I will have to give the first book a go.
