The nature of the beast by Louise Penny

What a treat to have a new Inspector Gamache book to read!  I brewed myself a cup of tea and settled in to read the latest installment.  Inspector Gamache has retired to the village of Three Pines with his wife Reine-Marie. A young boy in the village goes missing not long after a play by an infamous serial killer is chosen by the local amateur theater group for its next production. Gamache is the only person who thinks the two events are linked. Gamache's former team is called in to investigate when the boy is found dead. Penny does a great job of continuing to develop her characters.  In this book for example, Gamache has to learn how not to be in charge. The author's note at the end of the book gives the historical basis for the mystery.  Read this series if you want to be reassured that goodness exists in the world,  376 pages.
