Definitely my favorite since Faithful Place and The Likeness. I had been disappointed by the way the last two of French's Dublin Murder Squad Series' ended. This was solid, a slow burn, interesting characters, some twists, but mostly, good old fashioned police work, so-to-speak. Good stuff. I hope she sticks to this and not the slightly more paranormal-y stuff from prior installments.
I rounded up a bit. A few too many convenient coincidences but as always a good and suspenseful read.
This is a solid entry in the Dublin Murder Squad series, although still nothing competes with my beloved Faithful Place, which I personally feel is the best in the series. (I know that is not the popular opinion.) But this was classic French, great description and ambient details, fully fleshed out conversations, and an interior monologue for our main character that really fleshes out her story.
I know French has a theater background, and you can really see that in her writing. She is dressing the set with all of the right elements and weaving them into the story. She captures dialect perfectly, and I realized with this book that she lets the whole scene play out. She's not leaving out aspects of the scene for brevity. You get the whole scene, moment to moment.
I know some of her non-murder squad books have been met with mixed reviews, but I for one am going to have to read those, too. I can see why she would want to do something different, while at the same time I'm sad that this is the last in the series. I do hope we get more.

I stayed up until 2am the other night to finish this book and, of course, it was incredible! The mystery parts of her plots are always good but I especially love her attention to detail when she writes about the characters. Conway and Moran are a great team in this book so you can't help but root for them every step of the way.
I've truly enjoyed every single one of Tana French's books. I wonder who #7 will focus on and when it might be published?! I can't wait!!

I tried so hard to like this, but it made me want to poke my eyes out, so no. No, I do not like this book.
Another stellar work from Tana French. Great writing, an intricate plot that is unraveled with just the right pace, and characters that pop off the page are hallmarks of this author's work and this book had them all. One of my favorite authors who has always delivered.
I love this series! The twists and turns of this book were fantastic.
I definitely got sucked in, but there was so much navel gazing that I found myself hoping someone else would die.
