Louise Penny on THE MADNESS OF CROWDS
\u201cI'm constantly surprised by the books. Because I think about books a lot before I start writing them, I don't write structure and a formal outline. But I carry a notebook around with me for about a year before I start writing and I write down quotes and thoughts and ideas and snippets of overheard conversations and things from the newspaper\u2026some of them are used later and some just are never used, but eventually a pattern forms and that becomes then the idea for the book\u2026\u201d Who hasn\u2019t thought of moving to Three Pines after reading one of Louise Penny\u2019s Chief Inspector Armand Gamache novels? Louise joins us on the show to talk about the story behind the 17th\xa0book in the series,\xa0The Madness of Crowds, choosing kindness, the evolution of Gamache, Agatha Christie\u2019s relationship to Poirot, and more. Featured book: The Madness of Crowds by Louise Penny. Produced/hosted by Miwa Messer and engineered by Harry Liang.
