The world of mystery author Louise Penny

Louise Penny's immersive murder mysteries, set in her home province of Quebec, have drawn a large and loyal fan base. But writing came as a second career for the New York Times bestselling author, a former broadcaster who faced a debilitating struggle with alcoholism before taking up writing fiction. Martha Teichner visits Penny in the small town of Knowlton, which could be a stand-in for her fictional town of Three Pines, where too often there is murder afoot.

[@iwnunn7999]

I was unaware of this author prior to this viewing. What an utterly brilliant woman!! I've become a fan instantly without reading a single word of one of her many books.

[@greentonopah]

hi! when you can, read her books--even if only one--you're in for a treat!!

[@MadonnaGrogan]

[@brieflyghosttownexactly1103]

a scream in the silent darkness it was perfect❤️

[@bethrisacher5372]

My daughters, several friends, and I love her books!

[@bethhale1884]

There are at least 3 Three Pines Facebook groups (that I know of). They are a wonderful resource for these kinds of questions.

[@elisecordes]

Recently got into her book I’ve read the first two and can’t wait to continue on with the rest of them proud to be a Louise penny fan

[@bethhale1884]

Why has the poster made this video unavailable in Canada? Louise Penny is FROM Canada!

[@MadonnaGrogan]

But not be murdered😉

[@judypanushka7061]

CAN someone tell me in which book did Peter died? I missed one! He was kind of a stinker - yes?

[@jennymacallan9071]

I haven't gotten to that book yet. I have read 5 Gamache novels, though, and yes, Peter has always been slighly sinister, needy, and resentful of his wife's talent.

[@rosethomas8279]

JUDY PANUSHKA I just read #7 and he just left Clara for a 1 year separation! I will be anxious to see what happens to him! I agree!

[@apoorvkc]

Why in the world did you have to ruin this?
