Still Life by Louise Penny
3.0
3.5 stars
A quiet detective novel, where the clues are found by observation, that got me chuckling at times, rather than a nerve-racking thriller, which was refreshing. I also liked the fact that I got attached to the characters quite quickly. The Three Pines village seems like quaint place.
It was also interesting to get an anglophone's point of view of the Quebecois culture and the French-English relationships in the province. But I have to admit that the many, many mistakes in the little bits of French that are scattered here and there are frustrating and, honestly, disrespectful (it's not like it's very hard to find a French proofreader in the only francophone province in this country...).
