Like mashed potatos. Or at least that's how I have heard the author pronounce it. The first 3 books are set in Three Pines. Book 4 takes Gamache and Reine-Marie, his wife, on vacation to another location.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-80348769843911262372009-02-06T19:49:00.000-07:002009-02-06T19:49:00.000-07:00I've never read this author but your review and th...I've never read this author but your review and the cover of the book makes me want to hunt it down right now!!Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-88261874840967653512009-02-06T11:52:00.000-07:002009-02-06T11:52:00.000-07:00I've been reading lots of mysteries lately, and th...I've been reading lots of mysteries lately, and this sounds like another great series! <BR/><BR/>Enjoy Maisie Dobbs!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09701299201863734003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-69325300366231884772009-02-06T11:49:00.000-07:002009-02-06T11:49:00.000-07:00I think it's really neat that you related so much ...I think it's really neat that you related so much with this book.
