I love this series.This story drew me in immediately because the setting of a cookie-cutter new housing development and the struggle of losing a job struck a cord with me.

She has a real talent for creating per...

This is the third Tana French book I've read, and of the three this is the best in my opinion. I didn't read Faithful Place, the novel where this book's main character was introduced, so this was my first time meeting him.
