[Magdalen] Books

[Charles Wohlers]

They're all partially or wholly set in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, 
hardly 50 miles from here. The last one I read ended up in Quebec's Lower 
North Shore, home of Tony Hitsman of blessed memory. They're all excellent.

I absorbed earlier conversations here about Louise Penny and, starting last
September, I plowed through all eleven of her books and am waiting for the
12th this August.  Because of the complex interplay of the hearts and minds
of the characters, I have begun to reread them and am at #3.  It is
fascinating to revisit the people and plots knowing what I know now and
being freed from 'who done it' and able to focus on what is really going on
in these clever books.
