Still Life is the first of a long series of mystery novels by Louise Penny that feature Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Surêté du Québec. In it a secretive artist living in a small rural village is killed after entering a painting for the first time in a local art competition and Gamache is called in to investigate. The village is full of quirky characters and many may have a motive ond the opportunity to have comminnted murder. Gamache and his team leave no stone unturned in seeking to find out what happened and by whom. As a fan of Agatha Christie's mysteries, I found that Louise Penny is a worthy heir to the Christie legacy.
