The Secret Place by Tana French
2.0

I wanted to give Tana French a second chance. Her books get a lot of buzz and a lot of the authors that I like - seem to like her books. But I couldn't do it. This story held NO interest for me, and to make it worse, it seemed to go on forever. I'm not sure if this is a bad one for her, or if this is what all of her writing is like, but the characters were stale, the story was boring and I had to force myself to finish it. Because it's part of a detective series, maybe you have to know the main characters more to give a shit - maybe they doing something meaningful in another book but if you're just looking for something to pick up, I would definitely skip this one.
