Publisher's Summary

Instant Number-One New York Times Best Seller

"Robert Bathurst is just about perfect delivering the 16th Chief Inspector Armand Gamache novel.... Listen to all the Gamache audiobooks for maximum satisfaction." (AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner)

In All the Devils Are Here, the 16th novel by number one best-selling author Louise Penny finds Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Quebec investigating a sinister plot in the City of Light.

On their first night in Paris, the Gamaches gather as a family for a bistro dinner with Armand’s godfather, the billionaire Stephen Horowitz. Walking home together after the meal, they watch in horror as Stephen is knocked down and critically injured in what Gamache knows is no accident, but a deliberate attempt on the elderly man’s life.

When a strange key is found in Stephen’s possession it sends Armand, his wife, Reine-Marie, and his former second-in-command at the Sûreté, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, from the top of the Tour d’Eiffel, to the bowels of the Paris Archives, from luxury hotels to odd, coded works of art.

It sends them deep into the secrets Armand’s godfather has kept for decades.

A gruesome discovery in Stephen’s Paris apartment makes it clear the secrets are more rancid, the danger far greater and more imminent, than they realized.

Soon the whole family is caught up in a web of lies and deceit. In order to find the truth, Gamache will have to decide whether he can trust his friends, his colleagues, his instincts, his own past. His own family.

For even the City of Light casts long shadows. And in that darkness devils hide.

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books

"Bathurst superbly manipulates tone, volume, and pace to highlight this range of emotions. Paris is described beautifully, and Bathurst lingers over these descriptive passages that will speak to any traveler’s soul...." (Booklist, starred review)

Loved it, was skeptical at first

I wondered if the series should have already been over, however, Louise Penny found a fresh spin. Loved it. Great story with the gravitas one has come to expect!
I do still miss the narration of Adam Sim (earlier in the series, or possibly different production company?), who is more a voice actor, as opposed to the narration of Robert Bathurst, who will never be forgiven for his pronunciation of Rocket Richard.

Like a fine wine.

My wife and I ‘read’ all our books together, and find that listening a second or third time really brings the book and all the characters to life. We will often stop and google the locations and the attractions or art pieces mentioned for a deep understanding of why Louise uses them in her novel.
To us this book is a complete virtual experience.
Remember that while the devils are here they are also in the details, take the time to experience them.

Gamache in Paris? Yes! It worked!

It is 2 am. I had to finish. What a great puzzle Penny conducted. Frightening parallel between the machinations of Naziism and present day blindness to corporate corruption and political collusion.

Recommended, never disappoints

This was a gripping emotional roller coaster. Her books are an experience, rather than enjoyment, like life, and I love all the characters. I recommend Louise Penny novels to anyone with a live head and beating heart!

Paris?

I love spending time in Louise Penny’s world. It is an intoxicating mix of mystery and psychology. I need not have worried that the change of venue would affect how much I enjoyed this. The depiction of Paris with a few of its warts included was refreshing. Bravo Louise another 5 star effort.

Another winner from Louise Penny

Kept me guessiing until the end. Enjoyable and riveting. On the whole, I prefer to read rather than listen to this type of story.

Well worth the wait

I was blown away by this book. It pulls together so many characters from previous books and still surprises with a unique and interesting plot line. I’m going to revisit all the previous books and enjoy again the wonderful characters and stories of Three Pines.
