Críticas:

Haunting, brilliant...Chief Inspector Gamache is one of my favourite characters in fiction (Linda Fairstein)

Penny writes with grace and intelligence about complex people struggling with complex emotions. But her great gift is her uncanny ability to describe what might seem indescribable - the play of light, the sound of celestial music, a quiet sense of peace (New York Times)

With enormous empathy for the troubled human soul - and an ending that makes your blood race and your heart break - Penny continues to raise the bar of her splendid series (People magazine)

For the reader, meanwhile, there's a final beautiful mystery to contemplate: How does Penny consistently write such luminous and compassionate books? (Seattle Times)

With The Beautiful Mystery, there's no longer any doubt: Penny is Canada's best contemporary crime writer, among the best in the world, and one of our best writers, period (Winnipeg Free Press)

Utterly reliable, utterly enchanting (Sunday Herald)

A compelling and compassionate whodunnit (Irish Times)

An ingenious, gripping novel... recommended without reservation (Irish Independent)

An ingenious, gripping and elegantly written mystery... an utterly magical read (Irish Independent)

Reseña del editor:

On a remote island in Quebec, a monastery stands. The monks there are one of the last surviving groups to sing and keep alive original Gregorian chants, handed down to them from generations before. But now the outside world has affected their peaceful, self-sufficient existence.

A body is found in the abbot's garden. One of the monks has been killed, and presumably by someone within the monastery. So Chief Inspector Gamache and Inspector Beauvoir come to the island to investigate and question. They have no choice but to stay in the lonely, silent monastery until the murderer is brought to light - which soon brings to the surface their own inner turmoil...
