The Secret Place
by Tana French
Tan French continues to hit home runs with her mysteries. The main suspects are teenaged girls in a Dublin private school. The girls are believable and Ms. French portrays each one in such a way that culprit could be anyone of them. I alternately wanted to shake them for their naivete and weep at their lost innocence. When the culprit is revealed, the revelation is believable and she is sympathetic, more sympathetic than I expected her to be. The detectives working the case were likable and developed a quick rapport with each other that was not saccharine. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Tana French keeps me reading until the very end.
