The novel is situated in a locked monastery where monks sing Gregorian chants and the choir master is murdered by one of the remaining 23 monks. The relationship between Gamache and Beauvoir continues with a surprising twist. Gamache's boss and clear enemy Francoeur shows up with a hidden agenda which causes lots of grief. A shocking and unpleasant ending for Gamache and Beavoir; how will this relationship be worked out in the next novel? I had mixed feelings as it was not my favorite Penny novel but still worth reading.
