When a mysterious figure appears in Three Pines one cold November day, Armand Gamache and the rest of the villagers are at first curious. Then wary. Through rain and sleet, the figure stands unmoving, staring ahead. From the moment its shadow falls over the village, Gamache, now Chief Superintendent of the Surete du Quebec, suspects the creature has deep roots and a dark purpose. Yet he does nothing. What can he do? Only watch and wait. And hope his mounting fears are not realized. But when the figure vanishes overnight and a body is discovered, it falls to Gamache to discover if a debt has been paid or levied. Months later, on a steamy July day as the trial for the accused begins in Montreal, Chief Superintendent Gamache continues to struggle with actions he set in motion that bitter November, from which there is no going back. More than the accused is on trial. Gamache's own conscience is standing in judgment. In her latest utterly gripping book, number-one New York Times bestselling author Louise Penny shatters the conventions of the crime novel to explore what Gandhi called the court of conscience. A court that supersedes all others.

You bet, and you will never figure it out until at least three quarters through the book and don't be too smug about it then! When you thought 3 Pines surely couldn't sustain another murder, you were wrong, big time! But stop reading this review and go buy the book and see for ourself!

A Masterpiece
Glass Houses is a masterpiece. It is far more than a simple murder mystery. It is a work of art. We have the usual beautiful prose we've come to expect from novels penned by this author. She adds details and quotes which sent this reader off to research, hoping to understand, with deeper analysis, what is going on in the hearts and minds of the speakers. Penny doesn't write over the heads of her readers. Instead she invites us to dig a little deeper into our own perceptions and our views of the human condition.
