Book Description
In bestselling Tana French's newest "tour de force,"* being on the Murder squad is nothing like Detective Antoinette Conway dreamed it would be. Her partner, Stephen Moran, is the only person who seems glad she's there. The rest of her working life is a stream of thankless cases, vicious pranks, and harassment. Antoinette is savagely tough, but she's getting close to the breaking point.
Their new case looks like yet another by-the-numbers lovers' quarrel gone bad. Aislinn Murray is blond, pretty, groomed to a shine, and dead in her catalogue-perfect living room, next to a table set for a romantic dinner. There's nothing unusual about her--except that Antoinette's seen her somewhere before.
And that her death won't stay in its neat by-numbers box. Other detectives are trying to push Antoinette and Steve into arresting Aislinn's boyfriend, fast. There's a shadowy figure at the end of Antoinette's road. Aislinn's friend is hinting that she knew Aislinn was in danger. And everything they find out about Aislinn takes her further from the glossy, passive doll she seemed to be.
Antoinette knows the harassment has turned her paranoid, but she can't tell just how far gone she is. Is this case another step in the campaign to force her off the squad, or are there darker currents flowing beneath its polished surface?
My Review
Tana French has drawn an excellent character in Antoinette Conway. She is a very tough detective on the Dublin murder squad but through harassment from the other male squad members she is becoming very paranoid. Along with her partner, Steve Moran, she struggles to find the solution to the murder of Aislinn Murray. French writes with such detail she gives us an opportunity to see and feel what it's like to be a member of the murder squad. Her writing is excellent and she does get wordy but she takes you on a complex, emotional and suspenseful ride like no other. This is the 6th book in the series and in order to get the full impact of her characters it's best to start with the 1st book, In The Woods, and see how her writing progresses. I'm looking forward to her next book and I would highly recommend this series to those people who like complex murder mysteries.
