krismoch 's review for:

The Trespasser by Tana French

4.0

---

I wish Goodreads let you do 1/2 stars because this one was a 3.5 for me. I rounded up to a 4 because the more I thought about it, the more I appreciated it. There wasn't as much action in this book as her previous books which was why I initially didn't love it the way I have her other books. However, I realized that the dialogue was so realistic and specific that she created a world in which I felt I was eavesdropping the entire time. And that takes talent. It was like reading the very best possible Law & Order. And once again, you really do get a firm grasp on the characters to the point where you find yourself smiling and thinking, well, of COURSE this character would say that or react that way. That has always been Tana French's magic, the character development (which includes her skill with dialogue) and in that sense I wasn't disappointed at all.
