Well, just like all her other books, this one was great. On the book jacket, one of the review said something like this author writes literature disguised as crime fiction, and I'd have to agree. Just like in her other books in the Dublin Murder Squad series, the most intense action is on the inside...
I just want to list some quotes from the book. Tana French is a fantastic writer, tense, subtle, dramatic. She worms under your skin and makes you feel gray and foggy.Page 11 "Probably he was thinking what a boring bollix I was. Plenty of people think the same thing. All of them are teenagers, me...
At first glance, Ocean View looked pretty tasty: big detached houses that gave you something substantial for your money, trim strips of green, quaint signposts. Second glance, the grass needed weeding and there were gaps in the footpaths. Third glance, something was wrong. “The village of the damne...
Another Piece of Tana French Magic - 4 Stars “The nice guys are all over there, in seventh place.” Leo Durocher, Manager of the Brooklyn DodgersJust to be clear, Broken Harbour has nothing to do with Baseball. Leo Durocher gave us this great quote that ultimately condensed to Good Guys Finish Las...
I read this for my book club this month. It is completely out of the realm of what I tend to read, which was actually refreshing. There are quite a few shocking scenes, that made me flip the pages back and forth, but overall it was a good procedural type novel. I enjoyed her writing style, as it was...

I normally love Tana French’s novels and the premise of this book was so promising. And it kept me engaged for quite a while, but then it just fell apart. Once the book reaches the part where Mick and Richie start delving into what Pat was doing in the search for the mysterious animal in the attic...
This is a crime novel as I like it: original, gripping, with individual characters, sensitivity and depth.I don't want to give away details of the plot - but I enjoyed this very much. I like all of Tana French's novels, and this is my favourite.There's just one thing niggling me... the motivation of...
3.75Oh god. Devastating. There is no joy in this book - none at all. This may sound obvious, with the plot centring around the homicide of a family (including children), but in each of French's previous novels there is always a gentleness somewhere, a few moments of respite and of lightness and of h...
