A phone call from an unwanted person from Armand Gamache's past sets up a fast-moving plot involving murder, terrorism, and closely held secrets that Gamache, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, and Isabelle Lacoste must unravel. Not knowing who to trust, the trio relies on few outsiders to try and discover what an order of monks is hiding. With each clue they uncover, they realize that a terrorist plot will kill thousands and turn Canada into a police state. In a race against time, the three cross the globe to piece together the devastating facts and find the terrorists.
I was up late reading this book every night; I couldn't put it down. This classic Louise Penny book hooks the reader from the first page and continues to entertain to the last word. I cannot say why I didn't give it a 5-star rating without giving away plot details, so I'll state that it is a personal preference that withheld that fifth star.
4/5 stars.
