Louise Penny's Night with the Monks, Author interview for The Beautiful Mystery

Louise Penny describes her overnight research at a monastery for her book, A Beautiful Mystery. In this interview Louise is both poignant and witty as she talks about her writing process, how she invented the village of Three Pines in Quebec, Canada, and how it brought her solace after 9/11. She also recounts in lovely detail how she managed to spend the night in a Benedictine monastery -- from Gregorian chants to the Presidential cell -- and the Abbott's delightful response when she asked to set a murder in his monastery. Not to be missed!
