Critics are calling it masterful, subtle, and suspenseful:
“This hushed suspense tale about thwarted dreams of escape may be her best one yet…Its own kind of masterpiece.” — Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post
“A new Tana French is always cause for celebration…Read it once for the plot; read it again for the beauty and subtlety of French's writing.” — Sarah Lyall, The New York Times
“One of the greatest crime novelists writing today.” — Vox
“A slow-burn stunner that will keep readers turning the pages late into the night.” — Library Journal
This book is for you if
You want a mystery where the setting — a small Irish village — is as much a character as anyone in it.
You're drawn to slow-burn suspense that trusts you to sit with tension instead of rushing you through it.
You loved Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad novels and want to see her turn an outsider's eye on rural Ireland.
You appreciate a former cop protagonist who'd rather not get involved, and can't quite manage it.
You want prose good enough that critics recommend reading the book twice.
“★★★★★ You’re renting a brand-new hardcover for $12 instead of paying $30+. Even if you keep it, you come in under what you’d pay elsewhere.”
