I recently read Still Life which I believe is her first inspector Gamache novel and found it confusing and not all that interesting. It felt like it was the middle of the series, and I should have been up on what was going on.

For those of you who like her work, good! We won't all like the same books, and thankfully there are many, many to choose from.
