A Fatal Grace
by Louise Penny
A Fatal Grace is the second of Louise Penny's Inspector Gamache series. And it was fine. I liked it, but I didn't love it. I like the coziness of the characters and town now that they're more familiar, but... I don't know, I'm just not completely on board? I'll probably keep reading the series because I do at least like the books and people say they pick up after the fourth one.
The second book in the series, this book takes Gamache back to Three Pines to solve the seemingly impossible (but for real, this method of murder would never happen) murder of one of it's newest residents. As Gamache investigates, he uncovers old ties of the deceased to the town.
However... this book is kind of forgettable? But also predictable? It's been about a month since I finished it and I barely remember any details. I also predicted more in this book than I did in Still Life. The mystery wasn't as well crafted, in my opinion.
Anyway, I'll probably read more Lousie Penny, because now the characters are familiar but also because I already bought the third book when I bought this one. If you aren't in the LP club... I guess I still don't feel like I can tell you it's worth it. Maybe I'll feel that way in a few more books but for now I'm still not entirely sold.
