  2. Great choice for best novel! I love every single on of Louise Penny's books! If you haven't visited Three Pines via her novels, you really should. Inspector Gamache and the residents will become like friends or family. For a special treat, enjoy an audiobook of one or more and be mesmerized by the voice of Ralph Cosham.
