A Trick of the Light by Louise Penny
I always find it interesting to read authors that are not from the United States. It adds another dimension. Not only do you need to orient yourself to the characters but you need to get acquainted with the setting and so it goes with this book. The author is from Montreal and this book takes place there and in its surroundings.
A Trick of the
Light is a murder mystery surrounding a solo art showing of an up and coming
artist, Clara. The day after the show and
subsequent party in her honor, a woman is found murdered in her garden. Imagine Clara's suprise when the dead woman turns out to be her former best friend Lillian. Apparently Lillian is hated by many people so the list of suspects is long. In fact many of the potential suspects are introduced at the art showing and party.
While the book is not face paced, the author is great at developing her characters and leading the reader along until the murderer is revealed. Overall it was an enjoyable read.
