Thanks for the links and images of these beautiful places, Melissa! I also have been extra fond of the books that take place outside of Three Pines. Penny is a wonder and developing that strong sense of place as you articulate so well.

I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for letting me know! She really is *so* good at sense of place. I mean, you can SEE Three Pines in your mind's eye, right? And I very much want to go to the fictional monastery, even if there is a murder while I'm there ;-)

Great piece, thank you, Mel! Book 8 was one of my very favorites & it definitely had so much to do with the setting... Totally agree that trips away from Three Pines make the return all that much sweeter!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it — thanks for letting me know :-) I'm feeling like I need to re-read 'The Beautiful Mystery' again because I loved the setting and the atmosphere so much!
