This was my first Tana French novel - I loved the Dublin Murders series on TV last year so I kind of knew I’d like her writing. One thing I will say is I found Dublin Murders took an episode or so to be hooked and this was the same - it’s such a slow burn but I am assuming that’s the style! This wasn’t the thriller I was expecting - I found it more suspenseful with thrilling elements.
There were one or two twists and turns, and French definitely planted enough suspects to keep you guessing. But I did find myself guessing correctly towards the end, so I didn’t get an ‘a-ha’ moment, but I enjoyed it. I liked the characters and found myself rooting for them from the beginning.
There is definitely suspense from the very beginning, and I didn’t know who to trust! I really enjoyed the writing style and plot - I was in a reading slump before this and although it doesn’t sound like a good one to get you out of it, it really helped me - I had to know what happens!
