Product Description

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache returns to Three Pines in #1 New York Times bestseller Louise Penny's latest spellbinding novel, The Madness of Crowds.

Youre a coward.

Time and again, as the New Year approaches, that charge is leveled against Armand Gamache.

It starts innocently enough.

While the residents of the Québec village of Three Pines take advantage of the deep snow to ski and toboggan, to drink hot chocolate in the bistro and share meals together, the Chief Inspector finds his holiday with his family interrupted by a simple request.

Hes asked to provide security for what promises to be a non-event. A visiting Professor of Statistics will be giving a lecture at the nearby university.

While he is perplexed as to why the head of homicide for the Sûreté du Québec would be assigned this task, it sounds easy enough. That is until Gamache starts looking into Professor Abigail Robinson and discovers an agenda so repulsive he begs the university to cancel the lecture.

They refuse, citing academic freedom, and accuse Gamache of censorship and intellectual cowardice. Before long, Professor Robinsons views start seeping into conversations. Spreading and infecting. So that truth and fact, reality and delusion are so confused its near impossible to tell them apart.

Discussions become debates, debates become arguments, which turn into fights. As sides are declared, a madness takes hold.

Abigail Robinson promises that, if they follow her, ça va bien aller. All will be well. But not, Gamache and his team know, for everyone.

When a murder is committed it falls to Armand Gamache, his second-in-command Jean-Guy Beauvoir, and their team to investigate the crime as well as this extraordinary popular delusion.

And the madness of crowds.

Review

Praise for The Madness of Crowds

This series has always excelled... This new novel grapples successfully with the moral weight of its narrative... All Will Be Well never sounded so menacing.
The New York Times Book Review

"Intelligent and emotionally powerful.
Wall Street Journal

The best mysteries and thrillers rise to the level of social novels, presenting readers opportunities to confront the difficult issues we face. Pennys novels have always been driven by this (as well as the love of family and friends). The Madness of Crowds may be one of Pennys darkest works, but we can still find comfort in the natural beauty of Three Pines and the quirky residents we would love to have as our neighbors.
Washington Post

Timely and thrilling... faithful readers know that one of Pennys books is less a single-serving crime tale than a full spread of fiction. The mystery may be the main course, but the side dishes the food for thought, and the food at the Bistro; the people and their lives and, yes, loves; and certainly the setting itself combine to create a full banquet for readers, one liberally seasoned with dry humor. The Madness of Crowds is one of the richest and most satisfying banquets yet.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The mystery part of the books is always compelling and provides narrative drive, but Pennys books are so rich because she provides real food for thought and gives those thoughts emotional grounding... another brilliant entry.
Mystery Scene Magazine
