Tana French writes so beautifully! This true crime mystery is atmospheric and captivating. I felt transported to boarding school, to teenage friendship and romance, to the heady energy of it all, all while being completely plugged into the mystery. It's not imperative to read these in order. Definitely recommend!

Another compelling, well-written, mystery by Tana French.

This is the second Tana French Dublin Murder Squad book I've read. The first (The Tresspasser) I loved. This one also has French's great writing; however, I've never been a fan of detective fiction that jumps from the detective's pov to the suspect's and, in this book (maybe because I have teenage girls) I got really tense reading about events unfolding from the girls' points of view. So, I decided not to make myself keep reading and left the book unfinished with no regrets. Now I'm reading Broken Harbor (also by French) and enjoying it mightily.
