Another masterfully woven tale. This time Louise Penny takes us not to the village of Three Pines, but to a heretofore unknown order of monks cloistered in a secret monastery on an island. Inspector Gamache and his troubled second-in-command Jean-Guy Beauvoir must determine who murdered the choir master of a sect whose very existence is rooted in music. Who among these peaceful men of God killed one of their brothers? What part does the music play in the motive? Convincing monks who have taken a vow of silence to divulge information is difficult enough, but the task becomes even more difficult with the arrival of the sinister Superintendent Sylvain Francoeur, who is as dangerous as any murderer. Will good prevail over evil? Only time will tell.
