Good, thrilling story and tight, glorious prose.

Here's a quote I liked: "Maybe she, like me, would have loved the tiny details and the inconveniences even more dearly than the wonders, because they are the things that prove you belong." Lovely, no?

Gripping mystery book, the ending whodunnit was kind of... meh, without giving anything away. I also didn’t really connect with the main character (what even happened there?) but I understood his feeling from trauma and his slow deterioration. And it kept me up until 2:00am to solve the crime so it definitely did the job!!!

Tana French is good at this.  Compelling (if a bit standard) murder mystery with excellent characters

Good storyline but waay too drawn out. The twist was predictable and the ending was a bit unsatisfying.
