My favourite of French's Dublin Murder Squad series so far.
My favorite Tana French since the first 3 Dublin Murder Squad books. Good read to end the year on!
Re-read this book after reading it out of order the first time. I love the pair of conway and Moran. This novel is a gut-punch and a good solve. Tana French can sure write dialogue and a good detective novel.
Slow moving at first but then gets you going and leaves you with a pit in your stomach. It was a little long but overall I really liked it.
Listened to this one. Narrator Hilda Fay did a nice job. I picked this up because I saw a good review online. I didn't realize until I was halfway through that I'd read Tana French before of that this was the 6th in the series. I seriously disliked Into the Woods. That ending - jeez. This one I liked. And I think reading it as a stand-alone book was fine. There was never a point where I felt lost with the characters or their backgrounds. I would read another one if Antoinette was one of the main characters again.

What I Did Like:
The pacing is wonderful. You’re sucked in early because the detectives see things you want answers to. Then it picks up speed and you just can’t stop reading. You have to know.
I like the realism of the characters. We all get in our own heads and see things differently than they’re really happening. This plays up on that with a lot of characters. It’s realistic and I loved it.
Incredibly satisfying mystery. You get answers you want in a way that feels like real detective work. It reads like it could happen.
Who Should Read This One:
If you like detective novels, this is among the best. This author does her research and writes about detectives who follow procedures in ways other authors skip or get lazy on. It’s beautiful.
If you like to connect to characters in a deep way and want to try a mystery, try this one. Conway and Moran are solid characters and you’ll love getting to know them.
My Rating: 5 Stars
Beautifully written, this is a solid story that I’d recommend to any reader.
