A Chief Inspector Gamache Mystery Book 9, by Louise Penny, 2013, Audiobook narrated by Ralph Cosham released in 2013, Macmillan Audio

This book has a lot going on, particularly regarding Inspector Gamache’s relationship with the individuals who were running the Quebec security organization as well as his relationship with his former sidekick, Jean-Guy Beauvoir. As in Penny’s other books, there is one murder that Gamache is trying to solve, but that murder becomes secondary to the main plot, which is Gamache’s struggle to root out corruption in the security agency.

Unfortunately, this book left me hanging as the solution to the murder mystery was not very satisfying. In addition, the reconcilement between Gamache and Jean-Guy Beauvoir seemed too abrupt and artificial

The book had a lot more potential than the result delivered.
