Our host for this month is TBD.

Our book is "Still Life," by Louise Penny.

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Surêté du Québec and his team of investigators are called in to the scene of a suspicious death in a rural village south of Montreal. Jane Neal, a local fixture in the tiny hamlet of Three Pines, has been found dead in the woods. The locals are certain it's a tragic hunting accident and nothing more, but Gamache smells something foul in these remote woods, and is soon certain that Jane Neal died at the hands of someone much more sinister than a careless bowhunter.

Still Life introduces an engaging hero in Inspector Gamache, who commands his forces---and the book series---with integrity and quiet courage.

Note: The book is available through the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative at multiple branches; Libby has ebook and audiobook versions.
