I debated between clicking the four star and five star buttons on this one, but in the end, even though Tana French is a genius and I enjoyed this book as much as her first two, I decided I just couldn't give it five stars, because I am doing my best to force myself to only give five stars to the bo...

Faithful Place is a powerful story that seems to be about being a cop and solving a mystery -- but is really a story that revolves around family and the ties that bind to breaking. Tana French's great gift is getting inside the head of her characters and telling their stories in such a believable a...
