The Beautiful Mystery Book Summary
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.

This is the 8th book in the series. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and Jean-Guy Beauvoir head to the Quebec wilderness to investigate a murder at the monastery of Saint-Gilbert-Entre-les-Loups where a group of cloistered monks have risen to fame by a recording of their chants. The murder has exposed a division in the monastery between those who want to do a second recording and go out in the world and those who believe that this will damage the traditions of the monastery. Things become more complicated when Chief Superintendent Francoeur arrives, with the intent of Armand’s destruction. Jean-Guy has a new love, but it is fragile as is his recovery and Francoeur finds a new path to his quest. As they investigate, they learn more about the monks and their lives and what might have driven one of their members to murder. This ends with a devastating conclusion and we must wait to see what the future holds in the next book.

Another Gamache novel of opening up all the lessons of believing in God and putting our trust in Him to show us the way to live. This is a teaching of the struggles all of us go through to live in harmony with each other. It might be a tough read for some but it is well worth your time.

I really enjoyed the premise of the mystery in this book — a group of monks in a secluded monastery of northern Quebec are divided on how they should express their love of God and their God-given musical gifts. It was very believable and Gamache went about his investigation in his usual quiet, intentional way. Some people say this book moved too slowly. I can understand that observation, but a lot of detective novels feel slow-paced to me, which can certainly seem tedious.
It has been a while since I read a Louise Penny book — I think the last one was the raid on the factory, in which lives were lost. Gamache carries a lot of self-blame. His right-hand man, Jean-Guy, who is conducting a secret relationship with Gamache’s daughter Annie, is painted in this book as a bit of a self-absorbed turd. He is recovering from a narcotics addiction (pain killers from injuries sustained in the factory raid) and is very impatient with the contemplative, spiritual orientation of the monks. I got irritated with him in short order. When a character devolves in this way, it’s very often an indication that the author is planning to dispose of the character as the story unfolds. While Jean-Guy is not completely disposed of, he gets thrown under the bus due largely to his own weaknesses. As for Sylvain Francoeur, the interfering (& evil) admin from La Surete, well, I hope some future book details his grisly demise.
