Download Louise Penny: Inspiration for a murder
Chief Inspector Gamache, the hero of Louise Penny's books, was based on a man she could marry, very like her husband Michael, a doctor who treated children with cancer and saw life and death every day.
When the Canadian crime fiction writer first began writing, she battled five years of writer’s block to bring her murder mysteries to life.
