Update (Mar 2020): I just completed a full re-read of the Dublin Murder series, and have upgraded all of my ratings - including that of the much misunderstood Book #5, to which I owe an apology - to five stars a pop. I’m stingy with my stars as a rule, but these books are perfection and deserve every last one of them.
—————-
Original Review (Oct 2016): THANK YOU, TANA FRENCH. Following two consecutive disappointments from favorite authors - (looking at you, Atwood) - I was a bit wary of cracking into this one. See, I love me some murder squad, but my little heart? Just couldn't handle another literary let-down.
Happy to report that this is a worthy installment of the series (and superior to its predecessor, the controversial Book #5). All is right in the world - whew.

Even though the book starts off with the crime, it took me FOREVER to get into it. Once i was able to, it wasn’t bad.

3.5! I really really liked this! Not my fav of hers but I loved the slow build and it was very entertaining! I did want a little bit more of a bigger ending though! I felt like the last 50 pages dragged.
Tana French is at her best writing about driven detectives and strong minded women. One of her better books in this series.
