For a little mystery, try Louise Penny\u2019s popular \u201cThree Pines\u201d<\/strong> detective series<\/a>. Though set in a fictional town in Quebec, her novels often feature Montreal (\u201cGlass Houses<\/a><\/strong>\u201d <\/strong>in particular.) <\/strong>Kathy Reichs unearths the bones of the city in her thriller \u201cD\u00e9j\u00e0 Dead.\u201d <\/strong>And Montreal\u2019s rich queer culture is captured in the coming-of-age novels \u201cThe Geography of Pluto,\u201d<\/strong> by Christopher DiRaddo, and \u201cBottle Rocket Hearts,\u201d<\/strong> by Zoe Whittall.<\/p>\n

Perhaps nothing will get you more excited to travel to Montreal than the dazzling work of Heather O\u2019Neill. In novels like \u201cLullabies for Little Criminals\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cThe Lonely Hearts Hotel,\u201d<\/strong> O\u2019Neill captures both the darkness and the dreaminess of the city in shimmering colors. O\u2019Neill\u2019s latest, \u201cWhen We Lost Our Heads,\u201d<\/strong> <\/em>is a dizzying confection, offering a 19th-century glimpse of Montreal\u2019s Golden Square Mile neighborhood with a sharp eye.<\/p>\n
