Tana French truly understands what it means to real-world-build by creating layered, interesting, flawed, real characters and then letting them interact in the beautiful and complicated setting of Ireland. The interplay between the people and the land is unlike anything I’ve read in modern fiction, and French’s use of language, description, and truth-telling about human nature is magic. I wasn’t sure about the first Cal Hooper book, but when I see it as a part of a larger picture, it all fits together. Love, love, love Tana French and her work.
