![]() ![]() ![]() Penny has a very distinctive writing style that first-time readers should be aware of-short paragraphs, frequent use of sentence fragments, repetitiveness. ![]() She uses these local characters to create brief, resonant moments of insight into the human condition, her true object of study. She takes a risk playing them off against the police procedural elements that dominate when Gamache and his Sûreté colleagues pursue their investigation, but she’s too good a writer to slip and fall. Penny walks a tightrope over cozy territory with these characters and the quaint rural Québec setting of Three Pines. ![]()
