[Magdalen] Books

[Charles Wohlers]

Her web site, http://www.louisepenny.com/, lists all the books in order over 
on the right-hand side of the page. It is quite helpful, but not absolutely 
necessary to read them in an approximate order. There is definitely a 
progression in development of the characters from one book to the next.

I picked up one of her books at the library recently, remembering that she 
came highly recommended by someone here, but then I didn't get it read 
before it was due.  So now I'm wondering: do the books need to be read in 
order?  If so, is there a chronological list somewhere?

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.
