The Nature of Beast

The Nature of the Beast by Louise Penny
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was interesting tale to add to Penny's Gamache series. The "boy who cried wolf" cliche paired with the "nature of the beast" cliche were powerfully woven into a story where past sins were called into the forefront. So often we think that the past doesn't define us, but Penny plays with how the "sins of the fathers" still haunt us today. Plus I'm always up for historical references...this one includes Vietnam, Saddam Hussein, etc. Well told and gripping as always--

Happy reading-
