of the village where the mysteries take place--the village of "Three Pines," and how she gives her characters flaws, even if those characters are the "good" ones.

Also I found this:

"Her oeuvre features Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, head of the homicide department of the Sûreté du Québec. The novels, although set in the province of Quebec, feature many hallmarks of the British whodunit genre, including murders by unconventional means, bucolic villages, large casts of suspects, red herrings, and a dramatic disclosure of the murderer in the last few pages of the book."

Also it comes through in her books that's she a very progressive person politically, though that doesn't make or break the book with me.
