Penny has waited for book sixteen to fill us in on the strained father/son relationship. In the previous fifteen books, we haven’t learned that much about Daniel, Gamache’s son. Penny’s writing is atmospheric and creates a strong sense of place.įamily: We might not be with the quirky and interesting characters of Three Pines for All the Devils Are Here, but we are with the entire Gamache family. However, isn’t the glamorous City of Lights an acceptable alternative?! And, after all, how many murders can actually happen in that small Three Pines community?! Louise Penny’s vivid and detailed descriptions of Paris, the delicious pastries, and points of interest make me feel like I am right there walking the streets with the family. Setting: Some of us might be disappointed that All the Devils Are Here is not set in our beloved Three Pines. Without giving spoilers, the ending is one of the more satisfying in the entire series! I could write a whole post about it! This delicate balance of a dedicated family man and loyal friend and fast-paced action represents my ideal reading experience.

Penny writes intense, “heart-stopping” action but doesn’t neglect the complicated character of Armand Gamache. One reason I love the Inspector Gamache series and have read them all is that the books are a perfect balance of plot-driven and character-driven.

If you appreciate well-told stories of powerful and corrupt corporations, you might be especially captivated by this story! In addition to the mystery and detective work, there are subplots involving the birth of Jean-Guy and Annie’s baby and unresolved father/son tension. Plot: We can depend on Louise Penny for a fast-paced, complicated, thoughtful, and intriguing plot.

Can Gamache trust his beloved godfather? His son? His instincts? His past? My Thoughts:Īre you a fan of Inspector Armand Gamache and Three Pines? Soon the entire family is involved in searching for the truth, unraveling a web of lies and deceit, and facing danger from many directions. The death of Armand Gamache’s godfather is made to look like an accident, but Gamache and his family suspect it is a deliberate murder. All opinions in this review are completely my own.Īll the Devils Are Here, #16 in the Inspector Gamache Series, is set in Paris.
