The Madness of Crowds (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache #17) by Louise Penny (Goodreads Author)

 


5 out of 5 stars  *****

A full and rich story about a controversial issue during a contemporary time in a Canadian setting. First, there is a murder attempt in a crowded auditorium; then later, a murder among likely suspects. This opens the door for a host of interesting characters with fascinating backgrounds. The art of detective work is intelligently demonstrated by the protagonist. All facets of intertwined relationships including ethics, emotions, and duty are woven into the story's framework. The author writes with continuity of thought, action, and outcome that are logical though veiled. Reading/listening is a pleasure as mystery navigates through human conditions present in today's world. An excellently written murder mystery that dares to posture morality against statistics and their possible interpretations.
