izzywayout 's review for:

Broken Harbour by Tana French
4.0

i pick one of these once a year, usually around january - so going back to this series always screams "summer!" to me. which is probably an unusual feeling to have because they are bleak, dense, often depressing reads. is there any other kind of book better to read at a beach under the scorching sun? not for me, there isn't!

jokes aside, tana french continues to marvel me with the way she masters her words. every sentence is well thought-out and has its place in the story. for the first time since i started this series, i was actually interested in the mystery investigated (it's usually way more about the characters than the case for me), which was a plus. it would've been a five-star, no questions asked, if detective scorcher weren't such a casually mysoginistic man. but alas, we can't have everything.
