Although plot is important, I especially enjoy books with good character development. Still Life, the first in a series, fits the bill. Armand Gamache is a French Canadian investigator from Montreal who comes down to a small town to try to solve the riddle of the death of a beloved citizen. Just enough police procedural stuff, some interesting cultural info and fun characters in the town. I am looking forward to my next visit.

All the women I know who love mysteries have highly recommended this series set in Three Pines, Quebec. I like the poetry attributed to crotchety Ruth, but am not yet hooked on these cozies.
