Riassunto

A boxset containing the first three titles in number one New York Times bestselling author Louise Penny's Inspector Gamache series: Still Life, Dead Cold, The Cruelest Month. Still Life: The discovery of a dead body in the woods brings Chief Inspector Armand Gamache to Three Pines. Gamache cannot understand why anyone would want to deliberately kill a well-loved artist - especially in a place so free from crime it doesn't even have its own police force. But Gamache knows that evil is lurking somewhere behind the white picket fences and that, if he watches closely enough, Three Pines will start to give up its dark secrets...Dead Cold: In the sleepy village of Three Pines, a scream pierces the biting air. A spectator at the annual Boxing Day curling match has been fatally electrocuted. Despite the large crowd, there are no witnesses and - apparently - no clues. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache discovers a history of secrets and enemies in the dead woman's past. But he has enemies of his own, and he has to decide who he can trust...The Cruellest Month: On a glorious Spring day in peaceful Three Pines, someone waits for night to fall. They plan to raise the dead...When Chief Inspector Gamache arrives the next morning, he faces an unusual crime scene. A seance in an old abandoned house has gone horrifically wrong and someone has been seemingly frightened to death. In idyllic Three Pines, terrible secrets lie buried, and even Gamache has something to hide. One of his own team is about to betray him. But how far will they go to ensure Gamache's downfall?
