ychichi 's review for:
The Secret Place
by Tana French
I had high hopes for this one. It pains me to give such a low rating to a Tana French book. She's been consistently churning out amazing books but this was sadly a miss for me.
I love the Dublin Murder Squad and this one is set in a private girls boarding school so I thought this was definitely going to become a favourite. Sadly that wasn't the case. The story dragged on and on and the temptation to DNF this book was strong. The time jumps were confusing and made the story feel disjointed. I usually don't mind stories told in different timelines but this was just hard to follow and made it difficult to care about any of the characters or plot. The most disappointing aspect was the emphasis on how vapid and catty teen girls can be and all the characters and new detectives introduced in this one were bland AF.
Not giving up on the series though and still keen to get to the next one.
