Broken Harbour
by Tana French
Broken Harbor. A place where a family has been butchered in there own house. Family consisting of a man, woman and two kids. So the story is about who killed them obviously. There is stalker in the picture, creepy neighbours, unknown creature in the Attic. And seeming perfect family and two detectives. One is a experienced with a very good track record arrogance and another is newbie who wants prove himself. And a very good writer.
So what happened? A interesting read but not as good as the her last one. the Faithful Place. This has lot of stupid characters including the rookie cop. I don't understand why few characters did what they did. Actually most of the characters were downright stupid or very very irritating. The writer kept on repeating that the "Broken Harbor" the place was very creepy or may be I picturised it in that way. She explain a lot about about the lead characters background such as there friendship with others especially about the Romance between the characters and the friendship with others. It was fine to a certain extent but after that it was too draging. And got bored with all the unnecessary details. I didn't feel sorry for any of the characters except the husband and the kids. What Tana French try to do I felt was unnecessary, making the husband crazy or killing the kids and not showing proper reason put me off. The reason was not just good enough. So I would say I was not really happy with the book or her story telling skills which I was really impressed with her first book. I really hope her next book will be better than this I really like her books and writing hope she doesn't try to confuse us with her trying to be complicated because that's what I felt like, she wanted to write a complicated story with complicated characters which didn't turn out to be so complicated just really stupid but sure it's a good read and definitely worth your time hope you enjoy it more than I did.
