Short Review: A Rule Against Murder: A Chief Inspector Gamache #4 by Louise Penny - Inspector Gamache and his wife go away to their favorite vacation spot for their 35th anniversary, murder follows them. This is my fourth Inspector Gamache book in as many weeks and they seem to be getting better. This one has moved away from Three Pines, and that is good. Given that only about a year has passed since book one, the murder rate in Three Pines must be approaching the highest in Canada. Again, this was more about Gamache than anyone else, except maybe Peter Marrow, and Gamache is who I really want as the central character, so I am happy. Already started book 5

I REALLY love these series of books! Great characters, great writing and as always a great mystery! I do have to admit though that I enjoyed this one just slightly less then the others, only because I really like the setting of Three Pines, the interaction of the character in the town etc. and this one takes place outside of Three Pines. Still a cracking read though!
