The Mountains Wild by Sarah Stewart Taylor
5.0
After finishing "The Mountains Wild" I rushed to see what else Sarah Stewart Taylor had written. I see her other books are characterized as "cozies." This is surprising. This novel is no cozy but is a tight psychological thriller with depth and an ending that will floor you.
After nearly twenty years, Long Island detective Maggie D'Arcy gets a call saying that there is a development in the disappearance of her cousin Erin. who vanished during a visit to Ireland.
She drops everything--this is a good time to do that in her wrought personal life--and goes to Dublin.
What she finds there makes for a compelling, twisty mystery that did remind me of Tana French--not for the setting but for the layers upon layers of intention in the characters. Taylor propels her characters forward more urgently than French, which is an excellent trait. "The Mountains Wild" will whet your appetite for more from this writer.
