GREAT read. Luscious insight into people and relationships with exquisite character development and twisty plot turns. Classic Tana French. I highly recommend the while series of Dublin Murder Squad books.
This installment of the gritty Dublin Murder Squad series follows Detective Antoinette Conway and her partner Stephan Moran as they investigate what looks like a murder following a domestic dispute, but actually turns out to be full of secrets and a cover-up. Page-turner and the ending was better than I expected.

Another great detective story!!! how does she have all these different voices in her head ! I hope there is another one soon
Not my favorite of hers, but still a solid cop novel.
It was an okay book. Not the best of the the series. The case seemed easy to solve but takes 450 plus pages. This one is very character driven (which most of them are except Secret Place) so most of the book revolves around Conway personal issues. This is the first time she has used the same detective pairing for two books which was nice because you get the other ones perspective and personality. As a result I have no idea who the next detective will be for the narrator. My guess is Roche but it could be Breslin if he survives.
Another well crafted story by Tana French. Characters are well described, story is interesting.
First book I've read by Tana French and I liked it. The protagonist, Conway, is a bit irritating and difficult to like, but sympathetic nonetheless. The tone is good--serious but not too dark or heavy. The plot did keep me guessing a bit. My one beef is it was too long and drawn out. At 600 pages it could easily have lost 100 and been fine. I'll probably read another by the same author though.
