Glass Houses

It’s brilliant

Good book a lot of twist and turns.

At the end of Glass Houses I was in tears. Such good, noble people are at the heart of Louise Penny’s books! This one was written in 2016 and I read it three months into Trump’s second term as President of the United States, a time when the notion of wise, virtuous, noble leadership is in short supply.“We’re used to the film versions of psychopaths. The clearly crazies. But most psychopaths are clever. They have to be. They know how to mimic human behavior. How to pretend to care, while not actually feeling anything except perhaps rage and an overwhelming and near-perpetual sense of entitlement. That they’ve been wronged. They get what they want mostly through manipulation.…“Unlike most of us, who tend to be transparent, people rarely see through a psychopath,” she continued. “He’s masterful. People trust and believe him. Even like him. It’s his great skill. Convincing people that his point of view is legitimate and right, often when all the evidence points in the other direction. Like Iago. It’s a kind of magic.”My heart appreciates the people of Three Pines and Louise Penny’s extraordinary literary talent more than ever.

It started very slow, and I didn’t think I could through it. Louise Penny knows how to finish a book. The ending was super awesome

This particular story in the series is one that has more twists and turns than a maze! Inspector Gamache will once again bring you to the edge and leave you screaming for him to stop the incredible suspense! More tears go with this story, but so much love and respect, it will make your heart skip beats. All the wonderful people in Three Pines grow stronger in their understanding of each other and commitment to each other too. This series is unlike any I've read before, I feel as if I've actually been to Three Pines. Thank goodness for Miss Penny, an author extraordinaire!
