The award-winning debut of the beloved, unforgettable, #1 bestselling Armand Gamache series, back in hardcover in a gorgeous 20th Anniversary Edition.

In 2005, with Still Life, bestselling author Louise Penny introduced her iconic mystery series starring Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Surêté du Québec and his team of investigators as they are called into the scene of a suspicious death in a picturesque rural village somewhere south of Montreal, a village not found on any map, a village with three majestic pine trees presiding over the village green, a sign to weary travelers that they had reached a place of safety.

Still Life is the beginning of not only an engaging series starring Inspector Gamache—a man whose integrity and quiet courage, whose humanity, is an example to everyone around him—but also the launch of one of the most dynamic voices in American popular fiction today.
