This is the latest Louise Penny mystery, again set in the tiny, romantic village of Three Pines south of Montreal. Chief Inspector Gamache sets out to discover a missing woman, a friend of the bookstore owner in Three Pines, and finds not only her body, but the fact that she was one of five famous quintuplets. While this is going on, there is a dark plot brewing among some of the more rogue detectives in the Surete, designed to separate Gamache from the rest, and indeed kill him.
Everything comes together in a dramatic scene in the village itself, and all the important characters are part of the final scene.
It was hard to put the book down - I hadn't read a mystery in some time, and I just ate this one up.
