bellatronic 's review for:

The Secret Place by Tana French
2.0

This was a disappointment after I really enjoyed all of Tana French’s other books. It felt like this one was about 50% too long, especially considering that all of the main action takes place in a single day. For a book that revolves around teenagers, you would expect there to be a fair degree of teen angst but this is lathered on so thick it is just annoying and for a murder-mystery, the murder just wasn’t very mysterious.
