On a cold November morning, a jogger runs through the woods in the peaceful Quebec village of Three Pines. On his run, he finds a dead man hanging from a tree. The dead man was a guest at the local Inn and Spa. He might have been looking for peace and quiet, but something else found him. Something horrible. Did the man take his own life? Or was he murdered?

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is called to the crime scene. As Gamache follows the trail of clues, he opens a door into the past. And he learns the true reason why the man came to Three Pines.

This is a short audiobook for people on the go.

This was probably the worst of all of the Inspector Gamache stories. Really a waste of a full Audible credit.

Exploitation of a great series

More like an outline than a novel. Cliff Notes version of Loose Penny. Very disappointing

Disappointment

Not blaming the author on this, but Audible. I thought I was spending a full credit on the next installment in the Gamache series. While that may have been technically accurate, this story was set aside from the rest of the character development and was more of a novella.

Also, I miss Ralph Cosham as the narrator and voice of Chief Inspector Gamache.

Did not realize this was a short story.

Louise Penny never disappoints! Really enjoyed this short detective story set in the Three Pines world.

Great!
