The Grey Wolf by Louise Penny


In my opinion....


This was one of many books that I read over the festive period, but the first by Louise Penny, who deserves all the praise I've since seen in reviews of her novels.


From the start this story, set in Canada, moves at pace with compelling characters and a very strong plot. In style it reminded me of the Da Vinci code, with hooks and twists that made it difficult to stop reading. I think it would make a great film, as its terrifying concept is all too realistic.


Even though the novel is part of a series I didn't feel that affected my enjoyment as I got to know the characters of Inspector Gamache and his likeable team.

Relentless phone calls interrupt the peace of a warm August morning in the small village of Three Pines in Quebec. Someone has managed to track down Armand Gamache, head of homicide, as he sits with his wife in their back garden. When he finally answers the call, his rage shatters the calm of their quiet Sunday morning.


That's only the first in a sequence of strange events that begin THE GREY WOLF. At first they seem small - a missing coat, a note for Gamache reading "this might interest you", a puzzling scrap of paper with a mysterious list - but then a murder. All propel Chief Inspector Gamache and his team toward a terrible realization. Something much more sinister than any one murder or any one case is fast approaching. A threat unlike anything they've seen before.


Thank you to Hodder & Stoughton and NetGalley for my ARC
