Lars Stuyts,
Louise Penny is a master of Characters and teasing out developments in each and every one of them。 This makes each of her Chief Inspector Gramache novels a highly anticipated read。 This being one of her best, bringing items from the past, adding strong feelings, those who have come close to defeating Armand, and you are just scratching at the surface for you cannot forget that almost anything can occur within Three Pines! Enjoy!

I would like to thank Netgalley and Hodder & Stoughton for an advance Copy of A World of Curiosities, the eighteenth novel to feature Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec。Gamache and his deputy, Jean Guy Beauvoir, are alarmed when a brother and sister from an old case reappear in their lives。 They were damaged children at the time and the detectives now wonder how damaged they are as adults。 Their unease is compounded by an old letter from a stonemason, detailing his unease at I would like to thank Netgalley and Hodder & Stoughton for an advance Copy of A World of Curiosities, the eighteenth novel to feature Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec。Gamache and his deputy, Jean Guy Beauvoir, are alarmed when a brother and sister from an old case reappear in their lives。 They were damaged children at the time and the detectives now wonder how damaged they are as adults。 Their unease is compounded by an old letter from a stonemason, detailing his unease at bricking up a hidden room 160 years ago。 When the room is found it contains the eponymous world of curiosities, but also, Gamache feels, a warning of trouble ahead。I thoroughly enjoyed A World of Curiosities, which is an absorbing story of revenge with plenty of twists。 The novel starts with switching between the old case of murder and the present day。 This is the case where Gamache and Beauvoir met and introduces Fiona and Sam Arsenault, then 13 and 10 respectively。 I can’t begin to unpack the nuance of this old case but it packs a punch and several twists and that is only the beginning。 It switches between Gamache and Beauvoir as they offer different perspectives and reflections on the same events。 It’s fascinating。 Then the novel moves to the present in Three Pines, the village where Gamache and his wife live。 The opening of the secret room and the discovery of its contents is a harbinger of what is to come, murder and mayhem and I loved every minute of it。This may be a difficult novel for survivors of various traumas to read, but it is handled sensitively with an emphasis on the victims rather than the perpetrators。 There is a certain fantastical element to the novel, not supernatural but more of the esoteric way the revenge is foreshadowed and in certain very unlikely events。 Somehow it seems in keeping with a series often set in a village that doesn’t appear on any map。 Still, there is no escaping the brooding sense of impending trouble that hangs over the novel, even though it is not a depressing novel。 There is warmth and humour between the residents and a sense of optimism by the end。 I was glued to the pages from start to finish。A World of Curiosities is a good read that I have no hesitation in recommending。 。。。more

that existed and to remember the acts of greater courage。 Of integrity and decency。 Of self-control。 Of forgiveness。”I have to confess that the beginning of A World of Curiosities was a hard read for me。 The subject matter of the child abuse, sexual abuse, distresses me。 I was tempted to quit reading, but it came down to a matter of faith in Louise Penny’s stories, in her ability to tell the horror of something with hope, of making the look at evil have meaning。 I knew she had something important to tell me, and it’s the repercussions of the abuse that figure into the story。 It’s not a book focusing on the abuse or even describing the abuse。 Only the evidence that something had occurred is there, not the occurrence。 So, I continued to read, and it won’t surprise anyone who has read this book or read any of Louise’s books that I made the right decision。 Louise Penny digs deep into the darkness to shine a light on it, exposing it and knowing it can’t be ignored。 What so many Chief Inspector Gamache fans will be very happy with is that we finally get a front row seat to Armand Gamache finding Jean Guy Beauvoir in the basement of a Surrette detachment station and bringing him into the light of day and the heart of an investigation。 (Nobody uses dark and light better than Louise Penny。) Their first meeting could have easily been the last, but Gamache sees past Beauvoir’s surly behavior, at his observational skills and passion to get things right。 Inspector Gamache has been called from Montreal to a desolate place where Lac Plongeon sits, hours northeast of Montreal。 A dead woman has been discovered in a shallow part of the lake, who carries pictures of herself and her two children in her wallet。 The identification is easy due to a driver’s license and her reputation around the small town as a prostitute。 Delivering the news of her death to Clotilde Arsenault ‘s children, Fiona, 13, and Sam, 9, Gamache discovers that the children have been left alone for the few days after their mother was reported missing, and he is outraged by this oversight of the surette officer in charge at the detachment station。 This oversight is only the first and least of the outrages Gamache and his team will uncover in this case and at the detachment。 By the end of this visit to the past, Jean Guy Beauvoir has become a member of the homicide team out of Montreal。 “It seemed like a coincidence, but in Gamache’s experience, almost everything that happened was the end result of a series of apparently unconnected events。 Often set in motion years earlier。 Remove one, and the thing did not happen。”Repercussions and reverberations。 Interspersed into the narrative about Gamache’s and Beauvoir’s first case together is the current timeline。 We join Armand and Reine-Marie Gamache as they prepare to attend a graduation ceremony of some personal significance in Montreal at the École Polytechnique, an engineering school。 Fiona Arsenault, the girl who was one of the two abused children in the pivotal case for Gamache and Beauvoir, has earned her engineering degree。 It is due to Armand Gamache’s intervention that Fiona Arsenault has been able to attend the classes and obtain her degree。 Armand and Reine-Marie have served as sponsors for her and are happy to see this day arrive。 Harriet Landry, the niece of Three Pines’ bookstore owner and former psychologist, Myrna Landry, is also graduating this day。 Another person being honored this graduation is a special friend of Armand’s, Nathalie Provost, who, thanks to Armand, survived the Montreal Massacre, where fourteen women were killed and thirteen women were injured at this school, a tragedy born from the malevolence of misogyny。 It was the day that Armand Gamache decided to make homicide his path of service in the Sûreté du Québec。 It’s an emotional day, but a day to celebrate, and Three Pines is doing so with a community-wide party。 Unfortunately, Sam Arsenault, Fiona’s younger brother shows up for the graduation and for a stay-over in Three Pines, which concerns Gamache。 Gamache has seen the evil emanating from Sam Arsenault as a child, and as a young man, he hasn’t changed。 Sam appears charming to others, but Gamache had him pegged when encountering Sam that first time。 Sam knows this and hates Gamache for it。 Seeing Sam again after all the years since his mother’s murder, brings sharply into focus how that level of malevolence works its way past Gamache’s barriers in his mind and preys upon him。 Only Sam and the serial killer John Fleming have been able to get inside Gamache’s head。Things are about to get twisted in Three Pines。 Myrna and her significant other Billy would like to move in together, so they are looking to either move from her bookstore or miraculously make more space there。 A letter from Billy’s stonemason ancestor that comes into Billy’s possession reveals another room in Myrna’s house/bookstore, a room that has been bricked up since 1862。 Upon opening this space, a huge painting greets those present, a copy of the famous Paston Treasure, also known as A World of Curiosities, with its many depictions of objects found in the time of the 1800s when it was painted。 However, this modern copy of the painting includes items found in current times。 As murder and other unsavory events start to occur, the painting is studied by Gamache and his team, as connections between objects in the painting and events emerge。 A deadly game is underway, and no one has more to lose than Chief Inspector Armand Gamache。 No review would be complete without comments about the characters whom we readers of this series have come to love over 18 books。 Fans of this series know that the characters are second to none in their development and reader investment。 They have become friends, those friends whom we don’t see every day, but when we see them again, we pick up right where we left off。 Armand, Jean Guy, Reine-Marie, Annie, Ruth, Clara, Myrna, Gabri, Olivier, Isabelle, and Billy, share their thoughts and emotions with us, and we are buoyed by the community attachments they’ve all formed。 Even crotchety old Ruth with her cursing duck inspires us。 Of course, Ruth’s poetry quoted throughout the book and often by Gamache is moving and memorable。 Technically, Jean Guy and Annie and their children and Isabelle don’t live in Three Pines, but the people who do live there readily adopt them as their own。 The magic of Three Pines is the characters who “All having discovered a village only ever found by people lost” gain strength from each other and discover the best of themselves。 And, as we read the heart-warming scenes of the meals they share at one another’s homes in Three Pines, we gain strength from such, too。 The newest character to Gamache’s homicide team is Amelia Choquet, who readers first encountered in A Great Reckoning (#12) where she was an unlikely cadet in the Sûreté Academy。 Amelia is still tattooed and unconventional, but she has shed the anger which consumed her then and become a trusted member of the team。 Armand Gamache is a great giver of second chances, and he has once again struck it rich with Amelia Choquet。 Louise Penny is purposeful in showing the value of people who might otherwise be discarded by society。 Hopefully, readers carry that message into life with them。A World of Curiosities is a story of increasing danger to Gamache and his family, both those related and others in his circle of care。 It is a journey of frayed nerves and horror-filled expectations。 A World of Curiosities is by far the most suspenseful book I’ve read this year, and it goes to top of my list now when recommending suspense reading。 Edge of the seat sounds so trite, but that phrase seems to have been made for this book。 The nefarious, twisted forces trying to destroy Gamache have no boundaries of evil, and the worst seems inevitable。 Tears will likely be waiting to spring。 This may be Louise Penny’s best book yet, and with seventeen previous solid-gold hits, that’s saying something。Thanks to Minotaur Books for an advanced copy of A World of Curiosities。 。。。more

a grimoire, a textbook of magic, inscribed with the name Anne Lamarque, a woman who’d been banished as a witch。 After the death of the woman who sent the letter to Billy, Gamache brings in Agent Ameila Choquet to set up an Incident Room in Three Pines in order to learn how all these pieces fit together, and how they lead to a serial killer Gamache arrested years before。Never has this reviewer written such a long synopsis。 Never has Penny written such a book where this long a synopsis was needed。 This is not a bad thing。Penny paints wonderfully visual pictures and is such a lyrical writer。 She imbues some of her characters with depth, wisdom and poetry, while others are as basic and ordinary as people often are。 “While he’d [Gamache] become an explorer of human emotions, Jean-Guy Beauvoir was the hunter。” Penny also incorporates an informal, yet complete, cast of characters within the story。 The reader learns new things about the characters, which keeps them developing and expanding。 Ruth, the eclectic poet, provides humor, as well as wisdom and history essential to the plot, while Clara’s information about the painting is fascinating。The interspersion of literary quotes and poems adds so much to the book。 They may inject humor, but they may also connote other emotions, melancholy, sorrow, or a warning。 It’s not unusual for the reader to spend time looking up the source material for some of the quotes。 It’s hard not to have favorite characters。 One may be the brilliant and fascinating character of Amelia Choquet with her complex history。 She is described by Myrna as—"If Ruth and a trash compactor had a child,…” Her use of three particular lines at the end of the book is incredibly powerful。There can’t be a story in Three Pines that doesn’t include food。 While the meals may be simpler than in some previous books, still one is tempted by chilled pea soup, grilled Gruyère and sweet onion sandwiches; salmon, fresh-cut asparagus, baby potatoes, and green salad with vinaigrette; charbroiled steak with chimichurri sauce and frites; and wild mushroom ravioli with sage brown butter。The story is the most complex Penny has written to date。 It begins by jumping back and forth in time yet is easy enough to follow。 One must pay attention to the characters and their relationships。 There is a lot to this plot that can’t be exposed in a review。 It isn’t a book to stop and start but is best read by becoming completely absorbed in the story。A WORLD OF CURIOSITIES is filled with misdirection and red herrings at every turn, even though the clues are there。 Even though one instinctively knows, at least hopes, everything will be alright, the suspense is such that the end may engender tears of relief。 The reader is so invested in the characters, one experiences their pain, fear, and anger, but also their love。 This is one of the most suspenseful books Penny has written and one that must have required a tremendous amount of research。 It may also be one of her best。 tA WORLD OF CURIOSITIES (Susp-Chief Insp。 Armand Gamache-Three Pines, Canada-Contemp)tLouise Penny – 18th in seriestMinotaur Books, Nov 2022, 384 pp。tRATING: Ex/A+ 。。。more

Outstanding。 Unquestionably, Louise is my favourite author, and Gamache my favourite ever literary character。 So while I looked forward to a new book, there was a vague “Will it live up to?” at the back of my mind。 Louise, I’m sorry there was even the hint of a whisper of doubt - you’ve delivered again, possibly your best ever book。 I don’t know how they continue to get better; perhaps you have a literary grimoire of your own… but what an intricate book, so many threads and details。 And no, it’s Outstanding。 Unquestionably, Louise is my favourite author, and Gamache my favourite ever literary character。 So while I looked forward to a new book, there was a vague “Will it live up to?” at the back of my mind。 Louise, I’m sorry there was even the hint of a whisper of doubt - you’ve delivered again, possibly your best ever book。 I don’t know how they continue to get better; perhaps you have a literary grimoire of your own… but what an intricate book, so many threads and details。 And no, it’s not the new person to the village who is the victim or killer, but this book nicely takes us back in Gamache and Beauvoir’s history。Honestly, I loved this。I received an ARC copy of this via NetGalley and the publishers in return for an unbiased review, and thank you so much for that。 。。。more
