Reviews

Penny, as ever, skifully juxtaposes the supreme cosiness of the Quebec village of Three Pines, this time in the grip of a freezing winter, and the horrors of drugs and prostition on the streets of Montreal. Supremely satisfying. - ObserverThis gloriously shocking book grips from the very first page and spans centuries and continents, worlds and underworlds. Louise Penny is one of the greatest crime writers of our times - Denise MinaNo one does atmospheric quite like Louise Penny. Kingdom of the Blind tackles some tough contemporary issues whilst retaining the timeless small-town charm of Three Pines. A wonderful addition to a fantastic series - Elly GriffithsKingdom of the Blind is an ingenious mystery that follows a thoughtful group of beloved characters navigating their way through a fallen world. What more could a mystery reader - or any reader for that matter - want? - Washington PostOutstanding . . . a constantly surprising series that deepens and darkens as it evolves - New York TimesThe premise is an intriguing one . . . I loved the setting. A welcome return to Three Pines and its inhabitants. - Scotland on Sunday
