"Ralph Cosham's excellent narration of Louise Penny's newest mystery demonstrates why a terrific narrator is an author's best partner." —AudioFile Magazine
Bury Your Dead is a novel about life and death—and all the mystery that remains—from #1 New York Times bestselling author Louise Penny
Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is on break from duty in Three Pines to attend the famed Winter Carnival up north. He has arrived in this beautiful, freezing city not to join the revels but to recover from an investigation gone hauntingly wrong. Still, violent death is inescapable—even here, in the apparent sanctuary of the Literary and Historical Society, where one obsessive academic's quest for answers will lead Gamache down a dark path . . .
Meanwhile, Gamache is receiving disturbing news from his hometown village. Beloved bistro owner Olivier was recently convicted of murder but everyone—including Gamache—believes that he is innocent. Who is behind this sinister plot? Now it's up to Gamache to solve this killer case . . . and relive a terrible event from his own past before he can begin to bury his dead.
"Few writers in any genre can match Penny's ability to combine heartbreak and hope."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

      Starred review from August 2, 2010
      At the start of Agatha-winner Penny's moving and powerful sixth Chief Insp. Armand Gamache mystery (after 2009's The Brutal Telling), Gamache is recovering from a physical and emotional trauma, the exact nature of which isn't immediately disclosed, in Québec City. When the body of Augustin Renaud, an eccentric who'd spent his life searching for the burial site of Samuel de Champlain, Québec's founder, turns up in the basement of the Literary and Historical Society, Gamache reluctantly gets involved in the murder inquiry. Meanwhile, Gamache dispatches his longtime colleague, Insp. Jean Guy Beauvoir, to the quiet town of Three Pines to revisit the case supposedly resolved at the end of the previous book. Few writers in any genre can match Penny's ability to combine heartbreak and hope in the same scene. Increasingly ambitious in her plotting, she continues to create characters readers would want to meet in real life. 100,000 first printing.

      Ralph Cosham's excellent narration of Louise Penny's newest mystery demonstrates why a terrific narrator is an author's best partner. In this book, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the S₧retÄ du QuÄbec takes on two murder cases although he's nominally on leave. Cosham, who has narrated all the books in the series, brings a sensitivity of pacing that helps listeners understand the complexities of the interwoven plotlines. He offers a deep reading of Gamache, emphasizing a level personality that's sometimes sharp, often witty. And he delivers lovely character studies of everyone from young QuÄbecois beat cops to elderly Anglo librarians. Plus, he easily pronounces the French phrases scattered throughout the text. My only quibble is that the Penny-Cosham team kept me listening past my bedtime. A.C.S. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
