Loading... All the Devils Are Hereby Louise Penny
   No current Talk conversations about this book. There were a couple weak spots and personal preferences, (I was not at all sympathetic to Daniel and found him profoundly unlikable, lol). But overall it was a fun read and, as always, there were (other) lovable characters and good humor and interest. (  ) JorgeousJotts | Feb 14, 2023 |  Wow, what a page turner! I flew through this one. I'm not a big fan of the violence and this one has more than I'm really comfortable with. For that reason I did find I needed to take a break sometimes. The twists did have me turning back to figure out what had happened. It was all clear. I just hadn't been paying attention. The author doesn't play games with us. Overall a very enjoyable read. I've read these in order from the beginning. I do very much appreciate the growth of the characters and the relationships they share. A book with heart.

( ) JudyGibson | Jan 26, 2023 | Chief Inspector Armand Ganache investigates a sinister plot in the City of Light. DerryPres | Jan 17, 2023 | Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his wife are in Paris to visit his godfather, Stephen Horowitz. Leaving the restaurant after an enjoyable meal, Horowitz is struck down by a hit and run driver and is critically injured right before the Gamache’s eyes. Gamache feels it was a deliberate act and sets out to prove it. While investigating the matter, Gamache calls on his previous second-in-command, Beauvoir, for assistance, along with his wife, Reine-Marie. In their search through Paris they discover some dark secrets of Horowitz’s earlier life. These findings give them second thoughts and concerns, and also affect Gamache’s view of a man that was so important in his upbringing. The investigation also puts the Gamaches, Beauvoirs and Gamaches’ son’s families in a precarious position. There seems to be international connections to this matter. Secrets, treachery, trust, truth, family secrets, relationships all come under scrutiny as this tale unfolds. Set against the multi-faceted world of Paris, Louise Penny provides another well-crafted chapter in the life of Armand Gamache. (  ) ChazziFrazz | Jan 7, 2023 | no reviews | add a review

"The 16th novel by #1 bestselling 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"-- No library descriptions found.
