The plot of Three Pines 

In the strange yet enchanting village of Three Pines, the plot features the kind and astute Chief Inspector Gamache as he tries to investigate a string of intriguing and perplexing murders.

Gamache can’t help but feel strangely drawn to the eccentric residents of this unusual place, including the proprietors of the bistro, Gabri (Pierre Simpson), the creatives Peter (Julian Bailey) and Clara (Anna Tierney), the counsellor turned bookshop landlord Myrna (Tamara Brown), the museum director Bea (Tantoo Cardinal), and the garrulous poet Ruth (Clare Coulter).

In addition to the murder case that is addressed across two episodes, Three Pines also weaves in a sinister serial tale that exposes police corruption at the regional  police force as well as their failure to adequately investigate incidents of missing Indigenous women. Marie-France Lambert, Marcel Jeannin, and Frank Schorpion, are included in the supporting cast.
