Still Life

On a quiet autumn evening in the small, picturesque town of Three Pines, a body is found in the forest. At first, it seems like a tragic hunting accident, but upon further investigation, it's clear that this was no accident. Someone has deliberately murdered a local woman. As Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his team try to piece together who would want to kill such a well-loved member of the community, they unearth long-buried secrets and dark histories. And the more they learn, the more it becomes clear that this wasn't just a murder. It was a message.
