Year 2 week 4: Still Life

This week's book:
Still Life
By Louise Penny

This week's book is the One Great Read (which is the book who is picked by the local library, for everyone to read around town). Still Life is the first book in the Inspector Gamache series. My sister a few months back read the most recent book in the series and really liked it, so I was thinking I might like this book. A few of the people in our book group liked the whole series and that gave me even more fuel to want to dive into the book.

I'm going to be honest, I could not get into the book. I had nothing to distract me from the book, my life was pretty chill this week and I still couldn't enjoy the book. I mean I had no interest in any of the characters. The book is a murder mystery and I literally could have cared less who killed the victim. When I spoke to my sister, she said the author had her own way of writing, and I told her that I just don't think the author had found her voice in this book yet. Every so often I read a mystery novel and am never keen on how they turn out. I always say to myself “why did I read that?” Regardless, I don't want to recommend this book.
