Thoroughly enjoyable. Loved both the audible and kindle versions. A zillion f words--just fyi.
Long drawn out story
I do not plan on reading anything from this author again. This was a long drawn out story about one murder. I only continued to read it so I could find out who did it. I skipped pages just to get to the end. Glad it's over.

OH MY GOSH!!!
This is such a great story. With the previous book introducing us to Conway and letting her annoy us for at least a book and a half, it's amazing to listen to a character' growth. No, really, Conway grows up A LOT during this book.
There is no shared POV in this one which normally I would dislike but in this instance it works.
The mystery holds for as long as French can and while we all know how much I hate red herrings in my thrillers, in this book, it works. We know what Conway knows.
The end is shattering and I can't say anything at all about it because no spoilers.
Brilliant.

Tana French is an incredible crime writer. I have loved reading this series, and I am sad that it’s over. I can’t wait to read it again. She has an excellent hold on creating characters, their relationships (both positive and challenging), and the tension that is inherent in the type of work her characters do. I think this book was as solid as her first one in this series, which is universally accepted as her best, and I couldn’t stop reading this once I started. I have a ton of respect for French and her writing, and she has quickly become one of my favorite authors.
Still tied with Gillian Flynn for the best murder mystery writer there is
I didn't want this to end. The Secret Place was my first (and still favorite) Tana French book and I loved Conway & Moran. I was looking forward to this one for months, a book from Conway's POV, and this did not disappoint. French's novel's always have a bit of air of melancholy throughout but I was satisfied at the end of this one, although I was sorta hoping Mackey would show up again.
Now I have at least a year for next one and will hope it'll be a combo of Moran and Conway again.

An easy page turner but it probably couldve been 100 pages shorter. It droned on about the same thing over and over, with a lot of build up for an obvious ending.
