I know this took me forever to read, but I was distracted by other books along the way.

I liked this book better than the first in the series. The story is fascinating and Tana French is really good at stringing you along. Once I started reading in earnest, it was hard to put this book down. I was guessing "who dunnit" all the way to the end. Great, fun read.

I didn't like it quite as much as the first one, but boy can this woman do messed-up characters! Her writing continues to impress.

Excellent. The main character is so likable. Satisfying.
