The “beautiful mystery” of Penny’s eighth Gamache mystery refers to Gregorian chant, plainsong, and its mysterious allure and spiritual appeal even to the lay listener. Playing off the international sensation surrounding the 1994 release of recordings of the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos, The Beautiful Mystery finds Gamache and his loyal lieutenant, Inspector Jean-Guy Beauvoir, being called to a monastery to investigate the murder of a monk. But it’s not just any monastery, and it’s not just any monk. The mysterious Saint-Gilbert-Entre-les-Loups monastery existed in isolation for hundreds of years, two dozen monks living in the remote Quebec wilderness, accessible only by plane or boat, with a plain wooden door locked to the world. They are the last vestiges of the Gilbertines, an order of monks devoted to plainsong, who vanished during the Inquisition. Their seclusion came to an end, however, with the release of a recording of their chants, a recording which became a sensation around the world, drawing pilgrims and the press, all of whom met with the locked door at the gate. The door opens to Gamache and Beauvoir, however, as they come to investigate the murder of Brother Mathieu, the choirmaster. The choir of Saint-Gilbert-Entre-les-Loups became a sensation on the basis of a single recording, but that success has also created a fracture in the monastic community, “a civil war, fought with glances and small gestures,” which Gamache and Beauvoir discover early on in their investigation. That fracture makes everyone in the once close-knit community a suspect in the choirmaster’s murder. The mystery – which is in itself compelling, and reminiscent, on the surface and unavoidably, of Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose – works as a catalyst for an ongoing series of inquiries into the nature of faith, loyalty and friendship, deepening familiar characters and developing relationships in a realistic, often painful fashion. It’s a stirring, thought- provoking read, less a matter of whodunit than a relentless questioning of why any of us do anything. The Beautiful Mystery satisfies as a mystery, and stands as a powerful literary novel in its own right, regardless of whether one has read the previous seven novels in the series.

Vuelve el inspector jefe Armand Gamache en uno de los títulos más personales de Louise Penny.
Lejos de sus escenarios característicos de Three Pines, Louise Penny vuelve a demostrar en Un bello misterio por qué es una de las escritoras más reconocidas del panorama negro internacional con una historia donde ambientación, acción y emoción se combinan magistralmente. Premiada con un Agatha Award, un Anthony Award y un Macavitya Award, y celebrada de forma unánime por la crítica por la humanida que desprende, Un bello misterio es la obra de una autora excepcional, cuyo amor por la música recorre todas sus páginas y la convierte en uno de sus títulos más personales.
Ubicado en lun paraje virgen de Quebec, a orillas de un lago, rodeado de bosques y muy alejado de la civilización, se encuentra el monasterio de Saint-Gilbert-Entre-les-Loups, donde dos docenas de monjes de clausura viven entregados a la contemplación y al rezo. Cultivan un huerto, recogen los frutos del bosque, son autosuficientes y cantna. Curiosamente, una comunidad que ha hecho voto de silencio es célebre en todo el mundo por sus salmodias gloriosas del canto gregoriano, cuyo impacto tan profundo en el espíritu del cantor y del oyente es conocido como "el bello misterio".
