Louise Penny gives us a tour of her book collection. Her dogs come, too.
At the bestselling mystery writer's Canadian home, exploring her joyfully unorganized shelves and her custom underground passageway.

"We left the main house through a door near the kitchen, went down a few steps and entered a tunnel. It seemed fitting that a mystery writer would have an underground passage — a good place to hide things, like a book — but Penny built this for a purely pragmatic reason: so she and her dogs could make their way to her winter writing studio, a few hundred feet away, without getting too cold.
Muggins stayed behind while Charlie led the way through the 60-foot corridor, patiently waiting as we stopped to admire the framed posters on the plywood walls — several New Yorker cartoons (Penny is a fan of Harry Bliss) and a display of the covers of Penny's books."
