Louise Penny with Mindy Todd: The Madness of Crowds

The creator of Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, Louise Penny is a multi-award-winning and bestselling writer. “The Madness of Crowds” is the 17th mystery in this series set in Three Pines, Quebec. In describing her work, Ms. Penny says, “My books are about terror. That brooding terror curled deep down inside us. But more than that, more than murder, more than all the rancid emotions and actions, my books are about goodness. And kindness. About choices. About friendship and belonging. And love. Enduring love. If you take only one thing away from any of my books I’d like it to be this: Goodness exists.” Louise will be in conversation with Festival sponsor WCAI’s Mindy Todd.
