Read by Robert Bathurst.
Professor Abigail Robinson, a statistician, is contracted by the Canadian government to study the death toll of the pandemic. After doing so, she promotes the theory that resources should not be "wasted" on the sick or elderly. She begins advocating for mandatory abortions and euthanasia. And some people don't like it. Chief Inspector Gamache is tasked with protecting the professor during a local talk and saves her when someone takes a shot at her. Later, her assistant is killed, but was the professor the actual target.
I liked this, despite the French phrases which would probably be less intrusive in the written novel. I almost gave up immediately, but I'm glad I stuck with it.
4 stars.
