How the Light Gets In by Louise PennyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Using the birth of the Dionne Quintuplets as inspiration Penny weaves a tale around the death of the last Ouellet quint. Marie-Constance had been a patient of Myrna's in Montreal. Her childhood had been traumatic and when her therapy sessions ended, she and Myrna became friends. After a short visit to Three Pines she'd returned to Montreal, intending to return for the Christmas holidays. When she failed to appear Myrna appealed to Gamache to investigate her disappearance. Although involved in the investigation, Gamache is simultaneously attempting to discover what his nemesis, Francoeur, is planning for the Surete, for Gamache whose department he has gutted, and for Jean-Guy Beauvoir whom he has all but destroyed. This is perhaps the most tension filled of the series so far as it builds to a plot that, if successful, will impact not just Montreal, not just Quebec but all of Canadian stability.
