Representaion Toward Books The Nature of the Beast (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache #11)
Hardly a day goes by when nine-year-old Laurent Lepage doesn't cry wolf. From alien invasions, to walking trees, to winged beasts in the woods, to dinosaurs spotted in the village of Three Pines, his tales are so extraordinary no one can possibly believe him. But when the boy disappears, the villagers are faced with the possibility that one of his tall tales might have been true. And so begins a frantic search for the boy and the truth. What they uncover deep in the forest sets off a sequence of events that leads to murder, leads to an old crime, leads to an old betrayal. A monster once visited Three Pines. And put down deep roots. And now, it is back.

After the artwork descriptions of the last book, I didn't think it could get any worse. It did. For me, it certainly did. The death of a 9 year old starts the story. But this time the real core is atrocity and super weapon descriptions par excellence in verbose exactitude. Always tied in with our Fleming (pat serial killer) history, Bible quotes from Revelation and sundry negatives of numerous past associations all around. Jolly good time. NOT!I'm afraid that no amount of feel good high end eatsIn the village of Three Pines there once was a boy who cried wolf. Nine year old Laurent Lepage told tall tales. Alien invasions, walking trees, dinosaurs spotted in the village. Hardly a day went by where he wasn't telling the residents of Three Pines one of his stories. And like the boy who cried wolf no one believed him. Including the story of a gun bigger than a house. When Laurent disappears and is later found dead retired Chief Inspector Armand Gamache questions whether this time Laurent's

3.75★Update 6/6/18 Please note the * and bold print line turned out to be total trash talking. No fake news was ever sooooo wrong!Book #11 in a most beloved series. I recommend this to anyone familiar with the previous installments. Definitely start from the beginning for more thorough enjoyment.I keep thinking that as much as I love Pennys world of Three Pines there must come a time when the series has run its course. The last one, #10, was probably my least favorite so I went into this a bit
Armand Gamache, formerly Chief Inspector of the Quebec Sureté is now retired in the idyllic village of Three Pines. Idyllic that is until a young boy finds something monstrous in the woods and a day later is found dead. Of course when Gamache's old colleagues arrive to investigate he is pulled into the search for the killer and the origins of the monster in the woods.It's good to be back with these old friends in the cosy village of Three Pines (which nonetheless seems to have a somewhat high
3.5 stars.I dont know how she does it, but Louise Penny has written yet another intelligent, suspenseful, historical mystery set in the tiny village of Three Pines, Canada. Nine-year-old Laurent Lepage, a sweet boy with a wild imagination, has died from a bicycle accident. But his favorite, ever-present stick/wand/sword, engraved with his name and given to him by his father, is missing. This fact, and several other inconsistencies, lead Armand Gamache to suspect foul play. Inspector Jean-Guy
It is always a pleasure to return to Three Pines in Quebec. The characters are my old friends, and I feel right at home. I am welcomed by the season, the weather, the food and drink, the fireplace. It's great to see how the characters' lives have changed with time, or to look back in a life to see what experiences that character had lived through. There is always something new revealed about them. Given the comfort I felt with the location and the recurring characters, the murder story created
