Gamache declares it the “perfect crime” and all the villagers suspects. The victim is a miserable woman who has chosen to live in a building that was previously a residential school where Indigenous children – abducted from their families – were abused in the name of “re-education.” No one – not her husband, child or neighbors – liked CC, who was electrocuted at a Boxing Day curling match (the series is set in Canada, after all). The first two episodes, premiering on Amazon on December 2, follow Gamache, played masterfully by Alfred Molina of Doc Ock fame, and his team solve the murder of CC de Poitiers.
The show delivers much of what the books do, although with more emphasis on the dark moments and fewer scenes of Gamache and company enjoying huge meals in the warm and cozy bistro. After watching the first two episodes, I agree with Penny. She added “that ridiculous misstep aside,” she likes the adaptation and thinks fans of her beloved series, like myself, will find a lot to enjoy. Three Pines is the soft landing, the open arms, the place at the table.” She wrote, “It makes me wonder if they understand the heart and soul of the village. In her social media post, Penny told fans she asked for the line to be cut but lost the fight. But if you don’t belong here, Three Pines will find you out and chase you one way or another.” The crabby old poet, Ruth Zardo, tells Gamache, a homicide investigator with Canada’s Sûreté police force, probing the murder of a hated neighbor, “This village is the most welcoming place on Earth. There’s a line roughly 45 minutes into the first episode of “Three Pines,” Amazon’s new adaptation of Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache books, that so incensed Penny she denounced it on her Facebook page when the show’s trailer was first released.
