When the writer prepares to tell a plot of a dark or criminal nature, the stage is considered as the best accompaniment to convey added sensations, almost telluric around a violence that can be born from strange roots of the place of turn.

The question is to decide on real spaces such as Dolores Redondo with the Baztan or pull imaginary to gain a space to reality and end up locating cities like Castle Rock in Stephen King or Three Pines of Louse penny.

The best thing about inventing a place is that it always belongs to the author who created it from scratch. And everything that is emerging regarding that space continues to be recreated from the magic and imagination of the author and readers in a wonderful synergy.

So let's travel back to Penny's Three Pines. You do not have to carry many suitcases or wait hours until you arrive. It is enough to open the first page to appear again between its magnetic corners.

Synopsis

En The nature of the beast, the eleventh installment of the popular and acclaimed series dedicated to Armand Gamache, the former chief homicide inspector of the Sûreté du Québec must abandon his quiet life as a retiree in Three Pines to investigate the disappearance of a child. The case uncovers a series of events that lead to a murder and that, in turn, lead us to an ancient crime: perhaps the monster that twenty-five years ago came to Three Pines and sowed disgrace among the population has returned.

With her usual mastery, Penny tackles the darker side of human nature through the inexorable moral dilemma of believing or not believing the boy Laurent Lepage's fantasies, knowing that evil nests even in the most unexpected places.
