Alfred Molina will play Ganmache .
"I have exciting news… something you might have heard as rumour, but that I can now confirm.
Three Pines is becoming at TV series! It has started filming here in Quebec and will be broadcast on Amazon (not sure when). The amazing UK production company Left Bank has bought the rights (after many years of negotiations). Their track record for quality productions is second to none, having done The Crown. Wallander. Outlander. And many others.
Now the news you might be waiting for…. who will play Gamache? The answer is this man.
Alfred Molina. An extraordinary actor. With him as Gamache and Left Bank in charge, and shooting near where the books are set, we have every reason to believe it will be wonderful."
Looking at the reviews, it sounds rather dark so I might not rush out to read it.
Washington Post
"The best mysteries and thrillers rise to the level of social novels, presenting readers opportunities to confront the difficult issues we face. Penny’s novels have always been driven by this (as well as the love of family and friends). 'The Madness of Crowds' may be one of Penny’s darkest works, but we can still find comfort in the natural beauty of Three Pines and the quirky residents we would love to have as our neighbors."
