It was very hard to reconcile the potential crime being investigated with common sense. I don't believe North American governments have the amount of corruption that Penny's plots require, especially this one. Also her portentous tone gets wearying.

This is the nineteenth mystery of the Armand Gamache series. As Gamache sits with his wife, Reine-Marie, in their back garden, the phone keeps ringing relentlessly. When he finally answers, his rage shatters the calm of their quiet Sunday morning. The Grey wolf, a missing coat, and intruder alarm, a note for gamache reading, "This might interest you." A puzzling scrap of paper with a mysterious list - and then a murder. Their hunt grows increasingly desperate and the enormity of the creature becomes clear. If they fail, the devastating consequences would reach into the largest cities and smallest villages. If you like books that track down a threat, then you will love this book. Highly recommended!
