A Fatal Grace Pdf is a Crime Mystery Thriller novel by Louise Penny. Welcome to winter in Three Pines, a picturesque village in Quebec, where the villagers are preparing for a traditional country Christmas, and someone is preparing for murder.
A Fatal Grace Book summary
No one liked CC de Poitiers. Not her quiet husband, not her spineless lover, not her pathetic daughter—and certainly none of the residents of Three Pines. CC de Poitiers managed to alienate everyone, right up until the moment of her death.
When Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, of the Sûreté du Québec, is called to investigate, he quickly realizes he’s dealing with someone quite extraordinary. CC de Poitiers was electrocuted in the middle of a frozen lake, in front of the entire village, as she watched the annual curling tournament. And yet no one saw anything. Who could have been insane enough to try such a macabre method of murder—or brilliant enough to succeed?
With his trademark compassion and courage, Gamache digs beneath the idyllic surface of village life to find the dangerous secrets long buried there. For a Quebec winter is not only staggeringly beautiful but deadly, and the people of Three Pines know better than to reveal too much of themselves. But other dangers are becoming clear to Gamache. As a bitter wind blows into the village, something even more chilling is coming for Gamache himself.

as many solves murders by getting into the very core of his suspects,mostly in Three Pines. MS Penny’s descriptive writing makes the reader live the life of a villager,plodding through feet of snow to gather with friends at the bistro,sharing drinks and philosophical stories. bravo!

I am a big Gamache fan, but even I will admit that there are flaws — let’s call them quirks — in the series. Inspector Gamache is just a bit too good, too self-searching, too compassionate; the village of Three Pines is just a bit too Brigadoon-meets-Shangri-La; and some of the books in the series jump the shark, going from carefully constructed mystery cozies to life and death thriller endings. But, if you love these books, you love them, and you probably love them for the same reason other people don’t love them:
There are subplots that often have little or nothing to do with the central mystery. I often find those subplots (like the ones in “A Great Reckoning” and “A Rule Against Murder”) more interesting than the murder. I enjoy the poetry, history, philosophy, food descriptions, and psychological insights that might make the books seem overly busy to some readers.
I also find the anglophone-francophone tensions interesting. Although I’m descended from Quebecois, I knew very little about the bitterness surrounding the battle for the province’s identity. This series openly discusses that issue and the prejudices from both sides. The term “anglo” has nothing to do with anti-american sentiment, as another reviewer seemed to infer. Louise Penny uses it to describe Quebec’s own political and cultural issues.
Another Amazon reviewer was offended by Louise Penny’s use of stereotypes to describe overweight people and homosexuals. That’s a fine and tricky line. Penny’s characters are flawed — that’s one of Inspector Gamache’s primary talking points — and, so, they speak their prejudices. They also struggle to stand up against prejudice (“The Brutal Telling”). Some of the characters are overweight, like Myrna, who is large in all ways and defies being judged by the physical numbers, and the daughter in “A Fatal Grace,” whose weight is part of the reason for her victimization. Some of the characters are homosexual and they behave in a variety of ways, including the stereotypically “over the top,” but it’s pretty clear that that character (Gabri) chooses that persona for a reason and has other dimensions to his personality. I’m guessing that the most problematic character, in terms of offensive language, is Ruth Zardo, whose insulting nature borders on mental illness. Yet, she has a place – in this series, in the lives of others, in the view of humanity expressed by Penny’s Inspector Gamache.
But, in the end, they are characters. Louise Penny is not calling people names. Her characters are, and when they do, other characters react. If you want to read about lovely, inoffensive people, this series is not for you. But, if you like complicated plots with a lot of extraneous but fascinating information, start at “Still Life,” work your way through the entire series, and realize that not all the books are great – some are merely very good.
