Based on Louise Penny’s #1 New York Times bestselling novels, “Three Pines” from Amazon Prime Video and Left Bank Pictures stars Alfred Molina as Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec, a man who sees things that others do not: the light between the cracks, the mythic in the mundane, and the evil in the seemingly ordinary.

Absolutely loved the first episode; all the actors are perfect as their characters. So love the story as I always do with the books. Holding off for second episode as my ‘treat’ tonight. But it is hard holding off.
When I read the books I read them almost all in one sitting though I really try to slow down so I can just immerse and enjoy them but I just get pulled into the story and don’t want to put it down. And yes , I have then read some of them two or three times, maybe more, and now the latest book is due in the mail today and I’m thinking what I really should do is start from the first book and read all of them again before I read that one but time will tell.

Barbara Jackman, you are me. LOL. I’m afraid to start the series visually as these folks live in my mind and heart after all these years. I think if I watch it will forever change the books….

Dear Barbara,

I love the books, and have read them all, like you. I am, however, baffled that you love the series. Personally, I find there is little to no connection to the books, other than the character names. Gabri and Olivier are the opposite of who they are in the books. Myrna is clearly not a 50-ish former psychologist, Clara has no food in her hair, the church is brick instead of white clapboard, I don’t remember anything in any of the books about a Blue Jay feather (although I may have missed that), and there are no pine trees in the village green. Mind you, I think that the character of CeCe was well-cast and portrayed.

I am sincerely curious to know what similarities you find between the books and the series. I am open to hearing your perspective, in the hopes that I might see it through your eyes.

Had to log on at work this morning to get a pick at the series. I can’t wait to watch tonight when I get home. I was trying to recall what book this was based on. Does anyone know.

I two have her new book. Waiting until school is out for winter break so I can read it.

I enjoyed the first two episodes. I am sure A few changes were made to help introduce the characters and setting.
Are the episodes dropping weekly and how many have been filmed?

Watching the first two episodes was the first thing I did this morning. I loved them and can’t wait for more to follow. I’ve read all of Louis Penny’s Three Pines books (well, I’m a third of the way through the newest one). Such a wonderful writer, storyteller, and crime detective!!

Have read all of Louise Penny’s books, I’m order!!! Loved every one! Just wish she would write faster, so there would be even more books! Just today finished her latest book! Honestly,mot was the best book I have ever read. Could not put it down!!! Several plot lines going on , at the same time! Just found it FABULOUS!!!! It’s difficult waiting for her next book to come out. As nothing else comes close to the wonder of her books!!!! Looking at a long year ahead , waiting for the satisfaction, and total excitement of her next book! No other author even comes close to her!!!!!!

I read these excellently written books by Louise Penny slowly because I do not want to miss anything. It takes time to write such books with the many treasures and twists included within many phrases and sentences and paragraphs. Grateful for the fine writing that awakens every one of our senses.

I also love her books…above all others. I have her new book but am going to savour it to read during Christmas. I cry with every book…and when I find myself sad because I just finished her latest….EASY….I start all over again from the beginning. I have read all of them several times.

Please tell me there is another Ganache book after this one !!!
