Tana French is one of the finest contemporary authors and "Faithful Place" is her best novel yet. This murder mystery, involving "The Likeness" detective Frank Mackey, is not the traditional procedural murder mystery. The novel interweaves two stories, one involving the murder of Frank's first love Rosie Daly and the estranged relationship with his family. The dialogue is crisp and spot on, her characters are deep and rich, and French packs an emotional wallop. I highly recommend this novel.
