The Cruellest Month by Louise Penny

My second Louise Penny, Inspector Gamache "cozy" murder mystery. We were in Kailua for the holidays, I was shopping in a used bookstore shortly before our long flight home, and picked this up. This light book, set in Canada with characters I was already familiar with, made the trip home enjoyable. I especially enjoyed learning more about Gamache's history and family. Now I'll need to go back and read the second book in the series...probably this summer.

I think that what appeals to me is the intimacy of the villagers and their idyllic life. The food is great, people are "characters" and they accept each other's oddities. A nice little series to escape into for a rest!
