BURY YOUR DEAD: Guided Walking Tour

Louise Penny announced today on her Facebook page that starting in June 2013 there will be Guided Bury Your Dead Walking Tours of Quebec City.

Based on Louise Penny’s best-selling mystery novel Bury Your Dead, this two-hour tour follows the trail of Chief Inspector Armand Gamache as he investigates the murder of a local amateur archeologist, whose body was found in the cellar of the Québec Literary and Historical Society. Explore Old Québec City’s narrow streets with our guide and see with your own eyes the places where life and work bring Armand Gamache.

The Bury Your Dead Tour starts at the Quebec Tourist Information Centre (12, Sainte-Anne Street). It stops at the Notre-Dame Basilica, the Literary and Historical Society (Morrin Centre) and the Petit Coin Latin restaurant where participants enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and a slice of sugar pie. It then goes to the Jeanne d'Arc Garden through the Plains of Abraham, ending at the Montcalm monument, on Grande Allée Street.

Louise Penny will be International Guest of Honor at Left Coast Crime in Monterey, CA, March 20-23, 2014. Register now!
