The Nature of the Beast

by Louise Penny

Armand Gamache is back in Louise Penny's eleventh Three Pines Mystery.  Armand and Reine-Marie are enjoying their retirement in Three Pines.  Isabelle Lacoste is now Chief Inspector of the Surete du Quebec.

In this installment,  a young boy is murdered in Three Pines after discovering something hidden in the woods.  Then there is a second murder.  At the heart of the mystery is Project Babylon, a weapon of destruction, that can claim the lives of thousands.  Secrets long buried by poet Ruth Zardo are the key to solving this crime.

I really enjoyed this mystery based on the true character Gerald Bull - a scientist turned arms dealer.  I can't wait to read the next Three Pines Mystery!
