How the Light Gets In by Louise Penny

I'm so grateful for SusanM and TomL for introducing me to the Inspector Gamache books by Louise Penney! I have read each book with a growing appreciation for Penny's ability to weave poetry, character, redemption, and quirky aspects of Canadian culture (curling anyone?) into stories I hate to finish reading.  This installment of the series starts off with the death of a reclusive old woman who fails to show up for Christmas in Three Pines. Inspector Gamache must delegate the investigation of her death to his new second in command so that he can finally deal with Francoeur, the corrupt head of the Surete du Quebec.  416 pages.
