This story was fascinating. Inspector Armand Gamache is searching for a killer in a Quebec abbey where the monks sing Gregorian Chants. It had all the elements that make her books extraordinary: a good murder mystery, knowledge about a subject new to me, and the personal lives of the inspector and his people.
