The Nature of the Beast by Louise Penny

4.0

Based on unbelievable true events, involving the construction of a super gun in Quebec on the border with the United States. I really enjoyed this book, though I'm realizing that I should have read the Armand Gamache books in order. I may now start at book #1 and work my way through. I feel that some character details were probably given away here and I may have enjoyed the entire series more had I read it in order. That being said, I didn't have any trouble with the story for not having read the 10 books that came before it. I'll definitely be delving into more of this series. I haven't read a mystery in a long time and I love that these are set in Canada--a rarity, I think, in the crime novel genre.
