Casas de cristal

When a mysterious figure appears in Three Pines one cold November day, the first thing Armand Gamache and the rest of the neighbors feel is curiosity. Then suspicious. The newly appointed commissioner of the Sûreté de Québec suspects that the creature has deep roots and dark intentions. However, he is confident that his growing fears will not come true. A few days later, the sad figure has vanished and a body is found in the church... Alternating the quick exchanges of a courtroom with the events that have unfolded in Three Pines, Louise Penny weaves in Houses of crystal a brilliant game of ellipses, chiaroscuro and a story of considerable psychological depth. A great work of a great creator.
