I generally like something about every Tana French book - but I think I particularly like when she chooses a woman detective as her protagonist.
This was riveting. The mystery was twisty. You could never tell who to trust. And I loved hard-edged Antoinette. Definitely going to read the rest of this series.
I say this in every Tana French review… but I’ve never read books more compelling than hers. Once I sit down with one of her books, I can’t stop reading them! I would’ve finished this one in one go except it became 2 AM. It wasn’t my favorite out of the 5 I’ve read, but literally any books she writes will immediately hook me.
This is probably my second-favorite Tana French book after In The Woods. Loved the main character, Detective Antionette, and all of her angst. It's hard to enjoy other detective thrillers because French sets the bar so high with her well written characters.
I stared this series with book #5. This book was great and not predictable at all. The clues are all there I just didn't see them. I really am enjoying this series (even though I have only read #5 and #6). I'm looking forward to another one.
I honestly can’t believe this book has such a high overall rating. It’s been a long time since I’ve had to force myself to finish a book. This book has a decent plot but it’s way too long and has way too many pockets without any real action or intrigue. I was very disappointed.
