The Cruelest Month is one of my favorites in the series for many reasons. She of course agreed, and a correspondence and friendship began. Dear Louise Penny fans, you know what happened next-I fell under the spell of Three Pines and Louise’s writing and was so excited to find a new writer I now felt passionately about, that I emailed Louise and asked to interview her via email. So, loving Julia’s books and trusting her taste, I dug out my (now somewhat battered) copy of Still Life and started reading.
But then I got a letter from Julia Spencer-Fleming, who uses her powers for good: she sometimes sends around a letter to booksellers highlighting a book she feels passionately about, and Still Life was the topic of one of the first of these letters. Several years ago of course I got an advanced reading copy of Still Life, which languished in the pile. I use the scientific method of reading “what calls to me”-so a vast majority of the “pile” goes unread.
As a bookseller, I receive literally hundreds of advanced reading copies every year.
