An author I discovered on an online ‘Best recent crime’ list.
A very gentle book, set in a village somewhere outside Montreal /Quebec, eponymously called ‘Three Pines’. It is full of slightly folksy 2000’s eccentrics, artists, poets, a bistro run by a gay couple; it did remind me a bit of 'Under Milk Wood' (which I don’t think I have ever read).
There is of course a murder and a benign Inspector Gamache who solves all his crimes by listening and observing people.
I enjoyed it enough to buy the next one.
