OK, one more nomination, this time a Canadian book,
Still Life, the first of Louise Penny's
Chief Inspector Gamache series, set in Quebec. This first book was made into a movie, starring the totally inappropriate Nathaniel Parker playing Gamache, who is a bilingual Francophone for goodness sakes! But forget the movie, the books are excellent, except for the 4th and/or 5th in the series where I think she sort of lost her way. But they pick up again after. And Three Pines, the fictional Quebec town where this book takes place is too quaint for words, but delightful none-the-less.
Quote:
From Goodreads:
Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec and his team of investigators are called in to the scene of a suspicious death in a rural village south of Montréal and yet a world away. Jane Neal, a long-time resident of Three Pines, has been found dead in the woods. The locals are certain it's a tragic hunting accident and nothing more but Gamache smells something foul this holiday season…and is soon certain that Jane died at the hands of someone much more sinister than a careless bowhunter.
With this award-winning first novel, Louise Penny introduces an engaging hero in Inspector Gamache, who commands his forces--and this series--with power, ingenuity, and charm.
