I enjoyed this 16th installment in the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series. I have since bought 2 of this author's books.

Many thanks to MacMillan Audio and Net Galley for an audio copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I originally read this book on August 29th, 2020, but failed to return my review.

Very good Not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable

though not for me, I think many of my readers will enjoy this, with a classic old school detetctive vibe

Louise Penny has created one of the most loveable characters in Inspector Gamache. She created the village of Three Pines which all her readers want to go to. A murder mystery that tells a story beyond the solving of the crime. If you haven't read Louise Penny, I suggest you go to your local library and start now.

This is my first audiobook for a book by Louise Penny though I have read her books before. I found this story to be well-developed and interesting. It's definitely worth the time spent listening to it but I'll probably keep more with physical books for this author.

This is the 16th book in the great series by Louise Penny, featuring the beloved Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, of the Surete du Quebec.
I read the 1st book, "Still Life" to acquaint myself with the series and it was wonderful.
Even though the series is a police procedural crime drama, the book is written as a love note from all the characters which readers have enjoyed over the years. There is a strong thread of love and understanding within a family and the community in Louise Penny's books.
The excellent narrator, Robert Bathhurst, has a pleasing voice with an authentic sounding accent.
I love it when the narrator pronounces the French names and words as they are meant to be spoken.
The setting is Paris, the home of Gamache's god father and recent place of work for his son and son-in-law. There has always been some tension and rivalry between Gamache's son and son-in-law, who was previously his 2nd in command at the Surete du Quebec.
The attempted murder of Gamache's god father brings the family together, searching for a motive and the culprit, bringing all of them closer and closer to danger.
This book is beautifully written and should not be consumed fast. There is an edge of drama and suspense, but the descriptions of the locations, food and general atmosphere are too good to skim by. That said, the plot does move along slowly - the author doesn't miss a single detail and each nuance of every character is written in minute detail.

This far into a series, it’s clear that some plot lines work for some and not for others. I liked this storyline and found it well developed. The usual troubles with some of the side characters are present as always, but Louise Penny crafted a good story all around. Audio version was very good.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for my copy of All the Devils Are Here by Louise Penny Narrated by Robert Bathurst in exchange for an honest review. It published September 1, 2020.
Oh my word, I loved this book. I absolutely regret not reading it sooner. It is just so good. Penny really brought it. I did not expect to get so emotionally attached, yet her I am. I loved the overall story, and cannot wait to jump back into this series

Didn't capture my attention and engagement. I'll hopefully try again in the future. Didn't capture my attention and engagement. I'll hopefully try again in the future.

I couldn’t get into the audio of this one. I’m not sure if it was the narrators or something else. I loved the physical book though!

All the Devils Are Here by Louise Penney was borrowed from NetGalley audiobooks. I am enjoying all the different voices of the characters in the book though it's read by the same person.

This book is set in Paris, where Inspector Gamache and wife Renee are visiting their two married children and their families. Unfortunately, the reunion is scarred by the hit and run accident of one of their dearest friends, Gamache's godfather. There is a mystery here about the accident which might have been a murder attempt and the Gamaches are bent of finding out what happened.

The change from Three Pines in Quebec to Paris is refreshing in this book.

Fantastic novel, as always. The narrator's voice really takes you into the story. I would've enjoyed more time spent in Three Pines, since it is such almost it's own character in the series. It wasn't my favorite in the series, but still had me glued to my seat.

Loved this book! Louise Penny has done it again. If you haven't started the series, go to Still Life and immerse yourself a great mystery series. You will love the characters, the setting and the story. All the Devils Are Here is probably my first or second favorite.

I really enjoyed this one because Gamache and family where in Paris and so it was a little different than some of the others. I haven't really enjoyed this series like I use to since about book eight, but this one was a bit refreshing and I liked that Gamache and his son sort of iron things out and Gamache now knows why he is so distant from him. I thought it was funny how the Paris Police don't really care for Quebec Police and that he wasn't in control like he is back home. It was just over all a refreshing read.

I love Louise Penny, and I agree with many who say that this is her best book yet. But I *hate* the narrator for this series on audio. He just doesn't sound like the world of Three Pines that I have in my head, and I want to stop listening almost as soon as he starts. I keep trying because I'd love to listen to Penny's books on audio, but this narrator just doesn't work for me.

I love books set in Paris, and this Inspector Gamache novel, set in Paris, was great. We see Gamache investigating an “accident” against his godfather, Stephen, that takes them all over Paris and exposes secrets long kept. It was a page-turner.

The novel starts off nicely enough, in one of my favorite places in Paris, Musee Rodin. Some readers weren’t happy with the location, ‘though I enjoyed the change of scenery. From the beginning of the series Gamache always reminded me of George Simenon’s Inspector Maigret. And so, with Gamache and family in Paris, 2 of my favorite detectives, Maigret and Gamache seemed to be intertwined for a bit. It wasn’t just because of the Paris location, but also because Mme Maigret and Reine-Marie seem to be so alike.
However, 1/4 into the book all resemblance had evaporated. The novel became more and more fantastical. I had to suspend belief more and more. All the way to the way too Happy End.
If I want conspiracy on an international scale I’ll read a spy novel. Many authors have been associated with that kind of work and that’s their genre.

I really enjoyed this book--the first of the Three Pines series not set in Three Pines. I admit, that had me concerned but I ended up loving this story that takes place on the streets of Paris. We get insight into Gamache's past and the people who raised him. This story involves the entire Gamache family, including Annie and Daniel as they work to avenge the death of one of their closet friends.

Loved this departure from Three Pines. However, with a lot of the same beloved characters. Nazis, history,under and Paris are all entwined in this latest Penny novel. The narrator was wonderful!

The 16th novel by #1 bestselling author Louise Penny finds Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Quebec investigating a sinister plot in Paris. For even the City of Light casts long shadows. And in that darkness devils hide.

I alternated between reading and listening to this book, and narrator January LaVoy did a phenomenal job. As this is volume sixteen, I am obviously a fan of Louise Penny’s work. Her writing has improved steadily over time, putting All the Devils Are Here as one of my favorites. I’ll admit, though, that there were some rookie mistakes in the beginning. There were issues with continuity, and she repeated words near each other, which was annoying. I also thought the ending was too far-fetched… ridiculous, actually.

Having said that, I found the book to be addictive. There was a beautiful focus on Gamache’s family that hasn’t been present in her other books. She had a terrific use of metaphor, for example: “… the four of them sat in individual pools of light, their fingers tap-tap-tapping on the keyboards like the soft patter of feet sneaking up on a killer.” Brilliant. Penny wove in some fascinating WWII history, facts I’d never read before (and I read a LOT of history from that era). The ending of the book was so touching that it brought tears to my eyes, as did her acknowledgements at the end of the book. 4.5 stars.
