![]() ![]() I’d like to keep my review spare because with a good mystery, it’s best not to know too much-you’ll see how brief the synopsis is! This is French’s first book with an American protagonist: Cal has moved to rural Ireland after retiring as a detective from the Chicago PD. Her most recent two have been standalones, and both are just as strong. Her first books, the Dublin Murder Squad books, are a loosely connected series with threads of the same characters throughout. I read her first book, “In the Woods,” not long after it was published, and she has been one of my automatic pre-order authors since. Review: Tana French is quite possibly my favorite author. But when a local kid whose brother has gone missing arm-twists him into investigating, Cal uncovers layers of darkness beneath his picturesque retreat, and starts to realize that even small towns shelter dangerous secrets. After twenty-five years in the Chicago police force and a bruising divorce, he just wants to build a new life in a pretty spot with a good pub where nothing much happens. Synopsis: Cal Hooper thought a fixer-upper in a bucolic Irish village would be the perfect escape. ![]()
