Disappointing. I've read a couple other books by Louise Penny that I rather enjoyed. Didn't love them but rather enjoyed them. Sometimes that's enough. With this one I gave up 3/4 of the way through. Such a lot of repetitious rot. The Tenth Muse indeed. A long boring search for Peter, a character not that interesting to start with. I see this is on the best seller list and the NYT gave it a favorable review. This is good. I wish it well. I must have missed something.

Not my favorite. I love Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache series, but on my second read I had to skip to the end before I was halfway through this one. The story is more plodding than interesting. I have no affection for Peter and Clara without Peter is more interesting.

No no no. I've enjoyed this whole series, and this one for the most part. But to drag us so long through the mire and so clearly change character's developed personalities . . . No. (Almost spoiler alert) Myrna wouldn't have let her go. Neither Gamache nor Beauvoir would have allowed that ending either. Disappointed . . .

A Long Way Home. Magnifique

The long way home. Reading this is like meeting your old friends in Three Pines. I hope this isn't the end. I will wait impatiently for another.

The Long Way Home. Louise Penny has a great way of holding your attention as she unfolds another mystery with Armand Gamache leading the way. An artist leaves a small town in Quebec. After not returning the search for Peter Morrow is lead by Gamache. There are some interesting twists along the way. I loved the way she involved an environmental problem in this story. Being from northern VT, I could relate to the area as well as the environmental impact this product has had to people.

The Long Way Home. It simply does not get old. The characters of Three Pines are like family. The insights shared are those of growth, love, community and life. A very valued treasure.

Trite and slow. An utterly disappointing book. Way too introspective with a slow drawn out plot and a whimper of a finish. I so wanted to give up on the book several time, but slumbered along hoping something interesting would happen. It didn't. The most interesting character is the pet duck.

My favorite series. Louise Penny once again beautifully captures the beauty and heartache of life through masterful storytelling. I have grown attached to her characters. I feel their pain, love their relationships with each other, and can picture exactly what their lovingly snarky comments would sound like. Definitely my favorite series.

Great and satisfying read. The Gamache series blends solid mysteries with well developed characters and bursts of insight and humor. Highly recommended.

Amazing. This series is beautiful. Here, Ms. Penny creates word pictures that rival the imagined great paintings that are integrated into the story. This is about artists, artistic effort, human failings, and what makes us whole. A place, a person, a memory, a sensation: for each of the characters we learn what they care about at the deepest levels. Yes, there is a mystery to unravel, but the real focus is on the journeys of discovery that each character makes. Some may decide that there isn't enough action or that some of the writing is a bit flowery. I think it's all just right, and am breathless with the beauty of many of the passages.

The Long Way Home. I wanted to love it, but so much more introspective than the others that it was a slog until the last 75 pages.

All. I've read all of these wonderful books. I feel like a member of this village, an invisible participant of their lives and relationships, their despair, as well as their accomplishments. Thanks for writing them. SJK, Magnolia, TX

The Long Way Home. An excellent read in the continuing series. Police procedurals bit written with poetic grace and memorable characters who grow and develop with each novel. Now going back and starting at the beginning of the series.

the Long Way Home. This is the first book in this series that I found boring and ridiculous. The Chief Inspector has also become boring and uninteresting. The character of Clara is annoying and very unlikable. Hopefully, if there is another book in this series, the author will return to the original tender of the mystery series.

louise penny est canadienne. Veuillez noter que Louise Penny est canadienne, née à Toronto, Ontario . Classer ses polars dans la section "britannique" est une erreur, et ce, même si plusieurs de ses livres ont reçus des prix internationnaux, dont le prix Agatha Christie.Elle réside actuellement au Québec, dans les Cantons de l'Est (Eastern Townships) , dans un village qui a inspiré Three Pines. P.S.Je possède et j'ai lu tous ses livres (8) traduits en français, très bien traduits d'ailleurs.. Les expressions anglaises et les "quid pro quo" entre l'aubergiste et la vieille poétesse Ruth sont remarquables. Salutations distinguées. ld

The Boring way home. Not this time Ms Penny.. Boring, monotonous, tedious. I have read and enjoyed all Louise Penny's books, and I must say this one is not in the same class. Ganache only gives glimpse of his determined all-knowing assurances. Jean-Guy is less than a go-for. Clare is an erratic, insufferable, self centered spoiled brat. Only Ruth is her comforting reliable self. Too bad, after the last book I anticipated something more, much more.

Long way home. That was by far the worst book I have ever read all the way to the end. A huge disappointment!!{

Not the best. I usually love Ms. Penny’s books but this one was pretty much a lot of nonsense from Clara who suddenly wants her ***hole of a husband back and thus recruits Gamache and Beauvoir to « help » her find said husband. Overall, Clara with her lack of savoir être has always been my less favorite character in the series and this one confirmed my « dislike » of the woman.
