survivalisinsufficient 's review for:

The Secret Place by Tana French
4.0

Sometimes when I read a few books by the same author close together, it magnifies writing quirks and issues that I otherwise wouldn't mind, and that is what happened here (for example, the choppy writing style). I wasn't a big fan of the main character's voice either, and the teenage dialogue was kind of grating (reading "Umm, hello?" over and over, ugh).

All that said, it's a good mystery, and I'll definitely read more Tana French - will just give it a few months before I do.
