The Chief Inspector Gamache Series Books 1- 10 Collection Box Set by Louise Penny

This collection brings together the first ten books in Louise Penny’s Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series. Across the set, Gamache and his colleagues from the Surete du Quebec are drawn into investigations that begin with unsettling discoveries, from a body found in the woods over Thanksgiving Weekend to a scream cutting through the winter air in the village of Three Pines.

The stories move through the seasons and settings described in the source, including spring mornings that reveal shocking scenes, summer gatherings at the Manoir Bellechasse, and the deep cold of Quebec City. Along the way, Gamache digs beneath the surface of seemingly peaceful places, uncovering clues and, in one case, a trail of stolen treasure. The collection also reaches remote locations, including cloisters hidden in the wilderness, home to monks known for prayer and music.
