Still Life, Week 1

Welcome to Week 1 of the Online Book Club discussion of Still Life by Louise Penny. 

The Online Book Club, if you've never joined us before, is a book discussion group that takes place entirely online. Each week, I write a new blog post that talks about different aspects of the book, and you can interact directly with me and other readers by leaving your comments. Check back each week and see what new topics we're talking about.

Still Life is the story of a sleepy town near Montreal called Three Pines. The town is rocked when one of the townspeople dies unexpectedly, and they're even more shocked when it seems like the death was a murder. Once Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his team arrive in town, everyone is on edge, wondering who could have committed such a terrible crime. 

If you want to follow along with us but you aren't interested in reading the book, you can always watch the series, Three Pines, which streams on Amazon Prime. Don't have a subscription to Amazon Prime? No problem--you can put a hold on one of our Roku Express 4K+ Streaming Devices and check out the service for three weeks. Check out the trailer above for the series if you want to get a feel for how the characters look on screen. Feel free to still leave comments on the blog posts, even if you're only watching the series and not reading the book. 

We're reading through chapter 4 for next week, so make sure to read those chapters before checking in on the next blog post. I can't wait to hear from you in the comments!
