Still Life by Louise Penny

Inspector Gamache of the Surete du Quebec is called in to investigate when a woman is shot dead by a bow hunter.  Was it a tragic accident or murder?  In this first book of the series Penny introduces the residents of Three Pines, a picturesque village near the Canadian border, and Inspector Gamache.  I loved meeting the characters and learning how Inspector Gamache focuses on finding the emotional motive behind the murder.  A great read! 312 pages.
