Free Audiobook : The Grey Wolf (Chief Inspector Gamache 19), By Louise Penny

Relentless phone calls shatter the serenity of a warm August morning in the hidden village of Three Pines. Armand Gamache, head of homicide for the Sûreté, ignores his buzzing phone, though his wife, Reine-Marie, notices a tension in him, as if he knows precisely who’s calling. When he finally answers, his composed facade crumbles into anger, disrupting the calm of their quiet garden.

This unsettling moment begins The Grey Wolf, the nineteenth novel in Louise Penny's bestselling series. It’s only the start of a strange trail: a missing coat, an unexpected note, a mysterious list, and finally, murder. These pieces draw Chief Inspector Gamache and his team into a mystery that grows darker with each clue.

Gamache, along with his second-in-command Jean-Guy Beauvoir and Inspector Isabelle Lacoste, must rely on each other as trust begins to fray. With allies seeming like enemies and old rivals offering unexpected aid, the case pulls them through Québec and beyond, each step revealing a greater threat looming over both city and village alike. If they cannot unravel it, the consequences could be catastrophic.
