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.
