Par Louise Penny. 2019
En el noveno caso del inspector jefe Gamache, el carismático protagonista de una serie que ha cautivado a más de8…
millones de lectores en todo el mundo, Louise Penny ha escrito una magnífica novela sobre la lealtad y la traición, la moralidad y la corrupción, las luces y las sombras de nuestras sociedades contemporáneas. La Navidad está a la vuelta de la esquina, y en Quebec eso significa nevadas que encandilan, luces de colores y encuentros con amigos ante una chimenea encendida. Sin embargo, para Armand Gamache, el inspector jefe de la Sûreté du Québec, estas fechas normalmente festivas quedan ensombrecidas: algunos de sus mejores agentes del Departamento de Homicidios han sido trasladados a otras unidades, lleva meses sin hablar con su viejo amigo, el teniente Jean-Guy Beauvoir, y fuerzas hostiles están alineándose contra él. Así, cuando recibe un mensaje de Myrna Landers desde el pueblecito de Three Pines, Gamache lo ve como una oportunidad para escapar unas horas de la ciudad. Una amiga de Myrna que iba a pasar la Navidad en el pueblo no se ha presentado. Aunque la anfitriona se resiste al principio a decir de quién se trata, el inspector jefe no tardará en descubrir que la desaparecida fue una de las mujeres más famosas no solo de Norteamérica, sino del mundo entero. A medida que avanza en sus investigaciones, y en medio de idas y venidas entre Montreal y Three Pines durante un invierno muy duro, Gamache destapa una red de asesinatos, mentiras y corrupción de una envergadura colosal. Algo terrible se está tramando en la «jerarquía policial», y el inspector jefe hará todo lo posible para descubrir qué es. Enfrentado a su caso más perturbador hasta la fecha, ¿podrá salvar la reputación de la Sûreté, a las personas que aprecia y a sí mismo?
El juego de la luz (Inspector Armand Gamache #Volumen 7)
Par Louise Penny. 2017
Tras Una revelación brutal y Enterrad a los muertos, este nuevo caso del inspector Armand Gamache es una nueva lección…
magistral de la gran dama canadiense del crimen. Clara Morrow lleva muchos años trabajando en el más absoluto anonimato como pintora aficionada en Three Pines, un tranquilo pueblecito de las afueras de Montreal. Así que, cuando el Musée d'Art Contemporain de la capital decide acoger una exposición sobre su obra, Clara no da crédito a la noticia. La sensación de irrealidad y los nervios que la atenazan la noche del vernissage se prolongan en la cena que ofrece en su casa para amigos y miembros del mundillo artístico. Sin embargo, este torbellino de emociones sólo será el preludio de una velada dramática: al día siguiente de la celebración, aparece el cadáver de una mujer en un rincón del jardín. Y no es una persona cualquiera: se trata de Lillian Dyson, quien nosólo es una reconocida crítica de arte capaz de arruinar una carrera, sino que también había sido la mejor amiga de Clara desde la infancia, hasta que una fuerte disputa las separó durante años. ¿Qué hacía en esa fiesta a la que no había sido invitada? ¿Por qué y quién la ha matado? Son preguntas elementales con las que Armand Gamache inicia la investigación, acompañado de Jean-Guy Beauvoir e Isabelle Lacoste, sus dos ayudantes más próximos. Reseñas:«Soberbia. Penny utiliza con gran eficacia la interacción entre la luz y la oscuridad, haciendo que resuene simbólicamente en el alma de los personajes.»Publishers Weekly «Igual que P.D. James, Penny demuestra que la estructura férrea de la clásica historia de intriga puede acoger una enorme riqueza de emociones profundas y dramas interpersonales.»Booklist «Una mirada muy aguda a los oscuros motivos que mueven a unos personajes de gran complejidad. Detrás de cada estallidoprovocado por un desacuerdo matrimonial y de los celos profesionales subyace una verdad más profunda, que está anclada en la traición de la confianza y la necesidad de expiación y de perdón.»The New York Times Book Review «Magnífica... Magistral... Penny continúa asombrándonos con cada novela. Envueltos en tramas emocionantes con detalles de la vida cotidiana, sus personajes son gente a la que acompañaríamos durante sus alegrías y sus penas.»Cleveland Plain Dealer
