Still Life by Louise Penny

Whodunit Pleasure

The story unfolds with the skill of Agatha Christie. The characters are deceptively quaint until they reveal themselves to be as flawed as the rest of us. The simplicity of the story is its genius. It doesn’t bludgeon the reader with psychological horror nor is it obvious who the killer is. All elements are balanced and the result is a compelling read at a steady pace.
