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.

Ahhh the last of the Dublin Murder Squad. I enjoyed this book. I've pretty much enjoyed all in this series except for The Secret Place (book 5). The only frustration with this series as a whole is I wanted more stories with the detectives I fell in love with from book 1-Rob and Cassie. Every story is weaved together with a character or two from the previous books. Tana French's dialogue makes me feel like I'm in Ireland. Interesting plot lines and characters. Overall I would recommend this series to anyone who is fan of crime stories.  

Yet another flawed but endearing protagonist from Tana French. Lots more talk than action and a little slow in the middle but still a great read.

Not the most complex of plots, but well crafted characters and dialogue and a fun read to see how it ll plays out. In particular, French is great at writing dialogue that's real and regional and not cheesy, as well as writing characters who you may not like but you want to see how they turn out as the story continues. This is one of my favorites of hers, though other books are more mysterious, or more complex, etc.
