Book Review of A Rule Against Murder (aka The Murder Stone) (Chief Inspector Gamache, Bk 4)

A Rule Against Murder (aka The Murder Stone) (Chief Inspector Gamache, Bk 4)
reviewed on


I enjoy reading mysteries, especially those set in places I am not familiar with. Louise Penny and the Canadian Wilderness of the Quebec Province kept me turning pages. I enjoy the Inspector Gamache mysteries in general and this 4th one in particular. The characters are interesting, the scenery is beautiful, the blood and gore is minimal, and I was kept in the dark about the WHO and the WHY until the very end. My one complaint is the unnecessary use of the "F-word" by generally educated, relatively sophisticated characters in the book. It seemed to serve no purpose â except to distract and irritate me!
