From New York Times Bestselling Author Louise Penny

A Chief Inspector Gamache Mystery Novel, Book 4 of 18

Wealthy, cultured and respectable, the Finney family is the epitome of gentility. When Irene Finney and her four grown-up children arrive at the Manoir Bellechasse in the heat of summer, the hotel's staff spring into action. For the children have come to this idyllic lakeside retreat for a special occasion - a memorial has been organised to pay tribute to their late father. But as the heat wave gathers strength, it is not just the statue of an old man that is unveiled. Old secrets and bitter rivalries begin to surface, and the morning after the ceremony, a body is found. The family has another member to mourn.

A guest at the hotel, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache suddenly finds himself in the middle of a murder enquiry. The hotel is full of possible suspects - even the Manoir's staff have something to hide, and it's clear that the victim had many enemies. With its remote location, the lodge is a place where visitors come to escape their pasts. Until the past catches up with them...

Louise Penny lives in a village south of Montreal.

Samara and J., a struggling young couple, are off to J.’s birthplace, Upton Bay, a small town turned upscale theatre and winery destination. Sam has been hired by an editor friend to write a promotional piece about the place while she and J. stay with his grandfather Otto, a prominent businessman in his day.

But their visit does not go as planned. Sam’s explorations of Upton’s tourist attractions lead her to ugly truths behind the quaint little town’s façade—discoveries that are counterpointed with vignettes of the town’s wealthy, elderly ruling class, painting a different picture than the one Sam’s friend expects her to provide. Tensions between Sam and J. worsen as J.’s true nature emerges and Sam begins to question both his values and his family’s past—especially after Otto tells them stories about his time as a German soldier during WW2.

Back in the city, Sam’s opinions and judgments about what is right and wrong are tested when a shocking truth surfaces about her grandmother’s flight from Norway after the war, profoundly changing Sam’s understanding of who she is and who she wants to become.

In A Town with No Noise, fact and fiction combine to ask difficult questions about the communities we build, questions that are as relevant today as ever: Who stays? Who is chased away? And who decides?

Praise for A Town With No Noise

The epigraph of Karen Smythe’s novel A Town with No Noise is a gorgeous poem by Derek Walcott, which alludes to stories hidden in plain sight. Smythe’s narrative wends through deceptively bucolic small-town Ontario, then Toronto, then northern Ontario, to arrive, finally, at the devastating story of a Jewish girl and her family in Nazi-occupied Norway. In this skilful intertextual weave of fiction and true history, the reader is shocked and moved to come upon a past in Europe that Smythe’s characters—in Canada—would prefer to forget. Smythe’s protagonist Samara has taken herself on a journey of revelation and remembrance, a journey that will make of her a writer: a healer and mender. And Karen Smythe has written this story: her novel is a captivating and brave achievement.—Dawn Promislow, author of Wan

Karen Smythe is a brilliant and insightful observer of her character’s inner lives, and A Town With No Noise is no exception. Smythe is a master at articulating tension between Samara and J., between their expectations and the reality that hides behind the facade of Upton Bay, and Samara’s discoveries of certain character’s pasts. Smythe’s descriptions are gorgeous and poetic, her pacing deft and precise. A beautiful novel that I couldn’t put down.—Danila Botha author of Things that Cause Inappropriate Happiness

A compelling novel of family secrets and revelations, Karen Smythe’s A Town With No Noise lays bare WWII histories of cruelty, connection, and the bright flame of repair and healing that persists into our present day. Read this powerful, moving story of a young woman coming to terms with the past, and confronting our contemporary inequalities, for its clarity and urgent call for reckoning.—Elise Levine, author of Say This and This Wicked Tongue

With its inventive layering of a fictional narrative with footnotes, a transcription of a recording, a play, journalism, and historical details, the novel invites us to question how history is written, remembered, and forgotten, and to listen to the stories of others. A Town with No Noise will surprise, move, and push you to see the world differently, as only the best fiction can.—Kasia Jaronczyk, author of Voices in the Air and Lemons

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache returns in the eighteenth book in #1 New York Times bestseller Louise Penny's beloved series.

It's spring and Three Pines is reemerging after the harsh winter. But not everything buried should come alive again. Not everything lying dormant should reemerge.

But something has.

As the villagers prepare for a special celebration, Armand Gamache and Jean-Guy Beauvoir find themselves increasingly worried. A young man and woman have reappeared in the Surete du Quebec investigators' lives after many years. The two were young children when their troubled mother was murdered, leaving them damaged, shattered. Now they've arrived in the village of Three Pines.

But to what end?

Gamache and Beauvoir's memories of that tragic case, the one that first brought them together, come rushing back. Did their mother's murder hurt them beyond repair? Have those terrible wounds, buried for decades, festered and are now about to erupt?

As Chief Inspector Gamache works to uncover answers, his alarm grows when a letter written by a long dead stone mason is discovered. In it the man describes his terror when bricking up an attic room somewhere in the village. Every word of the 160-year-old letter is filled with dread. When the room is found, the villagers decide to open it up.

As the bricks are removed, Gamache, Beauvoir and the villagers discover a world of curiosities. But the head of homicide soon realizes there's more in that room than meets the eye. There are puzzles within puzzles, and hidden messages warning of mayhem and revenge.

In unsealing that room, an old enemy is released into their world. Into their lives. And into the very heart of Armand Gamache's home.
