Renaissance Readers: "All the Devils are Here" by Louise Penny

Renaissance Readers meet at 10:00 am on the second Tuesday of each month.

This month's book selection is All the Devils are Here by Louise Penny.

On their first night in Paris, the Gamache family shares a warm bistro dinner with Armand’s godfather, billionaire Stephen Horowitz. But the evening takes a dark turn when Stephen is violently struck down in the street—a deliberate attack, not an accident, as Armand immediately suspects.

A mysterious key found in Stephen’s possession launches Armand, his wife Reine-Marie, and his former second-in-command Jean-Guy Beauvoir on a tense journey through Paris—from the heights of the Eiffel Tower to the depths of the city’s archives, from opulent hotels to cryptic, coded artworks. As they unravel the secrets Stephen has hidden for decades, a gruesome discovery in his apartment reveals a danger far more sinister than they imagined.

Caught in a tightening web of lies and betrayal, the Gamaches must confront the shadows lurking behind the City of Light. To uncover the truth, Armand must question everything—his allies, his instincts, his past, and even his own family. Because in the darkness, devils hide.

Any interested reader is invited to join the discussion!
