Yesss this the good shit!!
Is is just my bias towards women that makes me love Tana French's female-helmed novels so much better than the other ones? This is definitely one of her best. I'm not sure which I love most between this, The Likeness, and Faithful Place (which admittedly is not narrated by a women, and yet is excellent.)
I love everything about this one, from the dynamic between Steve and Antoinette, the murder itself, the victim's story, Antoinette's fraught position in the murder squad, even Breslin's dumbass self. I love the way none of this plays out the way I expected. I really want Steve and Antoinette to get together, I hope she writes another Murder Squad novel, though I don't know who would helm it. Maybe go back to Cassie?

I really enjoyed this. I quite liked the slower pace, and I thought the ending was simultaneously captivating and believable. Though I read Tana French as a 'guilty pleasure' (and what a pleasure it is), I find her grip on story/plot inspiring, really. I imagine she really enjoys writing these books - but maybe not as much as I enjoy reading them. ;)
Another solid book in the Dublin Murder Squad series by Tana French. I must admit that there were portions of this book that felt similar to parts of her other books. I really like the characters that I've met in these books. I will continue you on with her books.

A brilliantly written page turner, captivating and enthralling…Detective Antoinette Conway is tough and bitter. She is worried about her job, has a huge chip on her shoulder and is convinced she is being harassed and persecuted by fellow officers. A beautiful woman’s death seems to be a straight forward domestic but Conway doesn’t believe it is. Soon Conway and her young partner/ protégée are forced to team up with a seasoned cop whom she doesn’t trust. Layer by layer, French takes us into the politics of a murder squad, the annals of police procedurals, questioning witnesses, finding evidence, building a case. A must read…
