Odd couple


I hope chief inspector Armand Gamache's next investigation centers on Louise Penny's planned spy novel co-authored with ... Hillary Clinton.

Has Hillary been to Three Pines?

Perhaps Clinton will be a doomed visitor to Penny's little town in the next Gamache book.

Can Canada's celebrated author of 17 "cozy mysteries" concoct a Cozy Spy Novel?

(A cozy contains little or no sex or violence, a kinder and gentler mystery.)

State of Terror is apparently already written, due out in October. Penny says it's about Clinton's "worst nightmare."

That would be a newbie US secretary of state, bucking the odds to solve terrorist attacks.

Can you say "Benghazi"?

Hasn't John le Carre already invented the cozy spy novel? Tinker Tailor, back in 1974.

I discover Inspector Gamache has his own web page. No back story, just his 17 books.
