Reviews
Praise for All the Devils Are Here "As always, Penny's mystery is meticulously constructed and reveals hard truths about the hidden workings of the world--as well as the workings of the Gamache family. But there's plenty of local color, too, with a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower to escape surveillance and a luxurious suite at the Hotel George V for good measure. If you're new to Penny's world, this would be a great place to jump in. Then go back and start the series from the beginning." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Penny's series has always been about the complexities and sustaining glories of family, and here she takes that theme even further, revealing fissures in the Gamache clan, but also showing the resilience and love at its root. Series devotees will revel in both Penny's evocation of Paris--every bit as sumptuous as her rendering of Three Pines--and in the increased role she allots to librarian Reine-Marie, whose research skills are crucial to untying the Gordian knot at the mystery's core." -- Booklist (starred review) "Exceptional... Penny's nuanced exploration of the human spirit continues to distinguish this brilliant series." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The strengths of this latest procedural from the inimitable Penny will attract her longtime fans and also draw in new admirers. A deft touch with plotting, sensitive characterization, and the author's warmth and humanity make this a must-have mystery, especially for collections owning the rest of series." -- Library Journal (starred review) Praise for A Better Man "'A Better Man,' with its mix of meteorological suspense, psychological insight and criminal pursuit, is arguably the best book yet in an outstanding, original oeuvre." --Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal "Enchanting...one of [Gamache's] more ennobling missions." --Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review "Pensive and moral Quebec police inspector Armand Gamache is justly beloved, and Penny's evocative prose is unfailingly admirable." -- Seattle Times " The deeper reward lies in how the books probe the psyches of Gamache, his family and colleagues, as well as this circle of small-town bohemians, the author picking off her characters, psychologically at least, one by one." -- The Globe and Mail "The appeal of this series and especially of Gamache himself has always been Penny's ability to show her hero moving from the tangible, brutal facts of murder to the emotions within, the stories in the blood. There are multiple stories, often contradictory, to be found in the many-tentacled web of human tragedy and suffering that Gamache teases to the surface in this moving exploration of ties that both bind and destroy." -- Booklist , starred review "Wrenching... Penny explores the depths of human emotion, both horrifying and sublime. Her love for her characters and for the mystical village of Three Pines is apparent on every page."-- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Penny's lyrical writing opens up Gamache's soul-searching in an almost poetic way. "A Better Man," it turns out, isn't so much a novel to wrap up certain story lines in this 14-book series, but one to breathe new life into them." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune, Praise for All the Devils Are Here "What stays with the reader are the tender passages, the human insights, the reminders of what makes life worth living." -- Wall Street Journal "Penny excels at creating a sense of place, and she brings Paris to life with scenes small (a favorite garden at the Rodin museum) and big (the top of the Eiffel Tower). We walk -- or, when necessary, run -- through the streets of Paris, taste lemon tarts and mourn the fire damage to Notre Dame." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Penny excels at capturing the inner life, whether it's a criminal's or a resentful child's. Series novices and die-hard fans alike will be left breathless--and moved." -- People Book of the Week "Penny's books are always a cause for celebration, and this one is superb in every regard." -- BookPage f you relish mysteries with fast-paced action, police treachery, old fashioned charm with a taint of power and corruption, you will definitely want to deep-dive into All the Devils Are Here . . . This is a rare novel that will definitely linger in your thoughts long after finishing the last page." -- Fresh Fiction "The intricate plot, nuanced relationships, and beautifully evoked Paris setting make this a real standout in Penny's wildly popular series. The dignified, cerebral Gamache is a detective for the ages, a good man in an often-impossible job whose greatest skill may be his insight into the human heart." -- PBS.com "I love the Chief Inspector Gamache novels and author Louise Penny has outdone herself with [ All the Devils Are Here ]." -- Red Carpet Crash "As always, Penny's mystery is meticulously constructed and reveals hard truths about the hidden workings of the world--as well as the workings of the Gamache family. But there's plenty of local color, too, with a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower to escape surveillance and a luxurious suite at the Hotel George V for good measure.
