Fall is such a perfect time of year to curl up with a blanket and a good book. My fall has been packed with activities, so that cozy reading time has unfortunately come less often than I prefer. Yet as soon as there was a hint of cool weather in the air, I placed a hold on the next (for me) installment of my favorite detective series, the Inspector Gamache series by Louise Penny.
Despite our busy schedule, I made sure to find time to delve into The Brutal Telling, the fifth in Penny’s series. I have enjoyed the books up to this point, but this one pulled me in even more than the others, making me feel as if I was right there in Three Pines, rooting for its villagers and hoping that the the resolution of the murder case won’t mean saying goodbye to a beloved character.
If you’re looking for a series of books to get swept away by this fall, I can’t recommend this one enough. I still have a ways to go (she’s up to 15!), but I hear Penny’s writing remains impeccable as the series progresses.
I’m typically not a series reader–this one is an exception for me. How about you, do you have any series you love?
