Louise Penny is one of my favorite mystery writers. Still Life is the start of her long-running series about Inspector Gamache and the village of Three Pines. Re-reading it was surprising because Penny does a great job of evolving her characters. Seeing them in their beginnings made me appreciate how she matured her cast over the series, but kept the essence of Inspector Gamache. I heartily recommend this series because it's well-done, humorous, and mysterious.
👏👏👏
American Spy by Lauren Wilkinson is not your typical spy novel. I find most spy novels to have a noble protagonist, but Marie Mitchell is trying to decide where her loyalties lie. The "enemy" who she loves or her country who has betrayed her and her family. Wilkinson tells a suspenseful tale with good action. She jumps around in time, giving the story a jolting quality that works well. American Spy is an entertaining book that also made me think about American foreign policy and the FBI. Impressive.
