Louise Penny's Inspector Gamache series is an excellent foray into the world of mystery novels. I've always loved mysteries and who-dunnit type TV shows and movies, so it only made sense that I would love a good mystery novel as well. Still Life introduces you to the world of Three Pines and immediately sucks you in. I found the characters a little hard to follow through the first few chapters, but once personalities emerge and develop, you begin to really know them. Louise Penny paints a beautiful picture of this fictional Quebec town, punctuated with murder, deceit and suspicion. Even so, I wish I could move in! Like a good mystery should, you're given enough information to figure out the murder on your own and draw your own conclusions, but I was surprised by the ending.
