Kate’s 2¢: “All the devils are here” by Louise Penny

“All the devils are here” by  Louise Penny

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   While I don’t understand it, I do like to hear French being spoken. Eventually, I can recognize certain words, e.g. street names, people’s names, and, of course, the slang words. You know, words that are repeated a lot.

   Robert Bathurst did da good job of reading this story for the NLS. Thank you.

   This murder mystery is full of intrigue, red herrings, and entanglements that kept me cogitating and back-tracking my own intuition. It was a great story.
