Summary:
"Caché au creux d'une forêt du Québec, le monastère Saint-Gilbert-entre-les-Loups n'admet aucun étranger. Vivant dans le silence, sa communauté est, toutefois, reconnue mondialement pour ses chants grégoriens majestueux. Leur effet est si puissant qu'on nomme la chorale Le beau mystère. Un jour, l'harmonie dans cette microsociété est rompue par l'assassinat du chef de choeur. Envoyés sur les lieux, l'inspecteur Gamache et son adjoint cherchent le coupable. Pour le trouver, ils devront contempler le divin, l'humain et la distance qui les sépare... Le beau mystère. Une magnifique façon de nommer ces chants si puissants, si mystiques, offerts par les moines et qui ont une telle emprise sur l'âme humaine. La musique, principalement le chant grégorien, est au coeur de ce magnifique roman." --
"No outsiders are ever admitted to the monastery of Saint-Gilbert-Entre-les-Loups, hidden deep in the wilderness of Quebec, where two dozen cloistered monks live in peace and prayer. They grow vegetables, they tend chickens, they make chocolate. And they sing. Ironically, for a community that has taken a vow of silence, the monks have become world-famous for their glorious voices, raised in ancient chants whose effect on both singer and listener is so profound it is known as "the beautiful mystery." But when the renowned choir director is murdered, the lock on the monastery's massive wooden door is drawn back to admit Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and Jean-Guy Beauvoir of the Sûreté du Québec. There they discover disquiet beneath the silence, discord in the apparent harmony. One of the brothers, in this life of prayer and contemplation, has been contemplating murder. As the peace of the monastery crumbles, Gamache is forced to confront some of his own demons, as well as those roaming the remote corridors. Before finding the killer, before restoring peace, the Chief must first consider the divine, the human, and the cracks in between." --
