I've been skipping Inspector Gamache books for awhile because (for my taste) they were becoming too much like cozies. So, this book was a fresh experience for me and I enjoyed it very much. I liked almost all the characters and loved Robert Bathurst's wonderful vocal acting. He makes characters of advanced age and youth all sound plausible and different from one another. He does well with female voices, while female readers often struggle with male characters' voices. I enjoyed the author's treatment of relationships which were very complex in this book: characters behaved one way with one character but still different with a third. As in real life.
A quibble or two: I prefer books that are not over ten hours which used to be near the max for mysteries. But more and more of them are now well over twelve hours; maybe it's a felt obligation to give readers more for their money as book prices climb. But I think that the overly-long (IMHO) mysteries have too many characters, too many subplots, and too much filler. I also disliked the character of Daniel very much which seems to be a common reaction. It strained credulity that a grown man with his own family could continue to estrange himself from his father without ever telling the father what his childhood grudge was.. I could see it if Gamache was an unapproachable character but he's the opposite.
Anyway, I can happily give this book five stars. I now look forward to reading some of the Gamache books I've skipped.

It took me so much time to finish this book not because it wasn't good but it wasn't for me, the story really never hook me up, I was lost constantly and I tried to put all my attention to get into the story they were so many characters and I had a hard time keeping up who was who or what background they had. again the story is good but it wasn't for me.

All the Devils Are Here is book number 16 on the series, you don't really need to read the other books to get into this story. many different scenarios and characters that bring to life this story, mystery, and a very complex plot that will entertain you and keep you wanting more.

The Narrations by Robert Bathurst was great giving so much depth to Gamache's character as well as other characters in the story. I feel like his voice was the one that keeps me going and interested in the story.

Overall it was a good book, characters, story, mystery, intriguing situations, drama everything was there to make this book a great read, I encourage you to read it, listen to it, and give it a try.

Louise Penny does not disappoint with the latest edition to her Inspector Gamache series. We find Armond in Paris awaiting the birth of his grandchild while being drawn back into his past. Corporate intrigue, police corruption, and murder in the highest levels of power.

I have read all of Louise Penny's Three Pines novels and I am sorry to say that this was one of my least favorites. The Paris setting was jarring and I missed the presence of the Three Pines villagers and the wonderful time spent eating and drinking at the Bistro. The characters were lifeless and stereotyped. Although the reason for Daniel's anger and estrangement from his father was revealed, it was incredibly feeble, i.e. to result in the years of hostility and miscommunications (that Armand was not able to figure out). The plot was full of twists, secrets, stabs in the back, greed, corruption, Nazi traitors, collaboration, and unlikely coincidences culminating in an overdramatic and unsatisfying climax. (spoilers removed) For the last 15 minutes of the story we are whisked back to Three Pines to say good-bye to the series. No fault with the narration, Robert Bathurst is wonderful-which kept me listening, even though I was not entranced with the story.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this title.

I am newish to Penny having only read the first two books in the series. I was struggling to get through them but wanted to know what the big deal was. When I had the opportunity to listen to this one I decided to jump on in and now really understand what the fuss is all about. I now really look forward to going back and reading all the books I have missed.

Once again i have picked up a book in the middle of the series without realizing it, and as such haven't read anything preceeding. Why I do this to myself, i don't know. All the Devils are here is the 16th book in the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series. As the cover shows, this book takes place in Paris, where the family's godfather is hurt intentionally.

The crime turns into a hunt for a why and reveals many secrets. This book is well liked all around, but I really wish I had read at least some books in the series to get some context. But that is my fault so I digress. The story was well written and interesting. I listened to this in audio form and I am glad because the narrator was very good. I am only dropping it down a star because there were a few draggy points.

Another great Inspector Gamache novel. And I absolutely loved the narration. Paris provided a great back drop for this mystery. Lots of twists and turns and a perfect amount of characters (suspects). Thanks to NetGalley for the privilege to read and review this book.

Inspector Gamache and Jean-Guy Beauvoir are back but this time solving a mystery in Paris. Always love the characters and process, and am so happy to have another book in the series. The plot is a bit far reaching and one of the characters gets a bit annoying but still well worth reading.

I love Louise Penny and this narrator is absolute perfection. All the Devils Are Here is a blend of police procedural, suspense and warm family feeling. How she combines love and trust with deception and murder is beyond me but she does it skillfully.

Great performance by the narrator. He does what might be the most difficult task, keeping his voice in an easily audible frequency range while performing accents and dialects authentically. The novel is tightly plotted, though some of the tying up of loose ends were a bit obvious for my tastes. Excellent addition to the series.

This is the 16th book in the Inspector Armand Gamache series. This book takes place in Paris instead in Canada. Armand and his wife, Reine-Marie, go to Paris for the birth of their daughter, Annie’s child. Annie and her husband, Jean Guy Beauvoir, had moved to Paris for his new job with a multinational corporation. Jean Guy had been Armand’s assistant in Murder Investigations at the Surety of Quebec (the provincial police department). Paris was also the home of Armand & Reine-Marie’s son, Daniel and his family. Daniel and his father had been estranged for some time but Armand did not know why.

Stephen Horiowitz, Armand’s godfather was also Paris on business. However after a dinner out with the Gamache family, Stephen was struck in an apparent hit and run accident and ended up in a coma. Soon it looks as if the accident was a murder attempt. Then Armand visited Stephen’s apartment where he found the body of a dead man, an associate of Stephen.
Armand teams up with his former assistant to find out who killed the man, why an attempt was made on Stephen’s life and how the multinational corporation was connected to it all.

This story deals with murder, corporate intrigue & family dynamics as well as family loyalty. Setting the story in Paris is a change from Tree Pines in rural Quebec. Much of the action takes place in famous locations in throughout the city of Paris. This a long story but a very good one. I enjoyed it even though it was the first audio book that I have heard at home and not in a car.

The audiobook was provided by the publisher and Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

Being new to the Louise Penny fan club I thoroughly enjoyed this book. After I listened to this Her books went to the top of my recommendation list. Today at my store I sold at least a dozen of her older titles. Can’t wait to read the next one.

Atypically for this series, “All the Devils are Here” is set in Paris, as Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his wife Reine-Marie have left Montreal and the Sûreté du Quebec to visit their son, Daniel, and daughter, Annie, and their spouses and children as Annie awaits the birth of her second child. The family party also includes Gamache’s godfather, billionaire Stephen Horowitz, who helped raise young Armand after his parents were killed in a car accident. But when Horowitz is gravely and intentionally injured by a hit and run driver, Armand and his family investigate, and are soon caught up in a dangerous web of intrigue and deceit where no one—not even old friends or Gamache’s own son—can be trusted....

This is the first of Louise Penny’s popular Inspector Gamache books that I’ve read but it definitely won’t be the last—I loved the characters, the writing was fluent and engaging, the Paris setting was beautifully portrayed and the mystery was well-plotted and kept me guessing throughout. I thought Robert Bathurst’s narration of the audiobook was excellent; his voices for the various characters—and there were many— were distinctive but not at all intrusive or distracting. I would absolutely listen to more books by this narrator, particularly the Gamache books—thoroughly enjoyed!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audiobooks for providing me with the audiobook of this title.

I am new to audiobooks so I never know what to expect. I love Louise Penny's books so I was hopeful I would enjoy this as well. I was not disappointed! I loved this book and the narration. It was perfectly paced and I had a hard time putting it down. I definitely recommend it.

Murder, espionage, corporate greed, criminal greed and so much more are on the agenda for Gamache and his family in Paris this time around and if they aren't careful it may be the last time around for the entire family. Things are coming to a head between Gamache and his son while the rest of the family appears to be collateral damage to an even bigger conspiracy. Once again the author has woven an exciting story with outstanding characters and has had it brought to life with a wonderful narrator. While this could easily be the last Gamache book in the series, I certainly hope for more as I just can't get enough of the characters or Three Pines!

This is #16 in the series featuring Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. Full disclosure, I have only read one other book from this author (#2 A Fatal Grace) which I very much enjoyed. I like this one less so possibly because I did not read them in order so giving this 3.5 stars. This book takes place in Paris instead of the usual Three Pines, Quebec which adds a nice location and familiar landmarks to the story; however, I found the story line was hard to follow and the book felt like it had squeezed in more twists than necessary. There are a lot of characters and mini sub plots that take away from the main actions, and towards the end it felt like the book should have been finished and wrapped but it kept going.

Audio narration by Ralph Cosham was wonderful, including the subtle accent variance between Parisian and Quebecois – at many points throughout the book I felt like I was listening to Liam Neeson acting.

Thank you #NetGalley and for sharing this ARC of # All the Devils Are Here
in exchange for an honest review.

Who does not love a Louise Penny/ Chief Inspector Armand Gamache story!? I loved this book, the setting, the story telling, and the reader was fantastic. He really gives life to Gamache and the story making it a very memorable and recommendable experience.

Armand, a police inspector, is set to find out who attacked his Godfather, Stephen. He uncovers a plot to hide something about a company that his son is tied to.
This is part of a series. This may be read independently with little confusion though I suspect reading the other books would enhance this one.
Opinion
I listened to the audiobook and thoroughly enjoyed it. I do confess to confusing the characters a bit but that’s on me. I listened while driving and at times was distracted. The narrators French accent enhanced the story as the MCs are from Quebec and the story took place in Paris.
The layers of the story astounded me. The fact that the author had thought out the plot so well that she was able to put in place clues throughout the whole book is amazing to me. I wonder if she wrote and then went back and hid the clues or if she knew in advance how it would play out and his as she went along. I really liked this book. Well done.

Is there a book series you love so much on audio, that you can’t possibly consider physically reading it anymore?⁣
⁣
That’s how Jackie and I feel about @louisepennyauthor ’s #threepines book series. The narration brings the stories to life in such a wonderful way, and #allthedevilsarehere is no exception. ⁣

All the Devils are Here is the 16th book in the Three Pines series and it is one of the best ones. How can a series be 16 books long and not be boring? Louise Penny is masterful in this latest rendition. Inspector Gamache is in Paris with his family and witnesses a hit-and-run that leaves his godfather in a coma. As he investigated the attempted murder, his own family ties begin to unravel. ⁣
⁣
As usual, it’s amazing to hear Penny’s insight into the human psyche and I loved that she peeled back the layers to take a closer look at Gamache’s home life.⁣

All the Devils are Here by Louise Penny is book #16 in Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, Three Pines series. The title references a line from the work of William Shakespeare: “Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.” What a thrilling and action packed book. What a beautiful setting, set in Paris. Captivating & deep storyline.

Although, I read this as a stand-alone, I highly suggest reading this series in order. I have been motivated to start at book one because I have enjoyed this book so much. I want to know more about these characters.

Thank you to Netgalley, MacMillan Audio and the author for an early audiobook copy in exchange for my unbiased review. The narrator amazingly captures the voices of the characters. Bathurst does a fabulous job.
