Publisher Description

From Tana French, author of the forthcoming novel The Searcher, a New York Times bestselling novel that “proves anew that [Tana French] is one of the most talented crime writers alive” (The Washington Post).  “Required reading for anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence and ingenious plotting.” —The New York Times Mick “Scorcherˮ Kennedy is the star of the Dublin Murder Squad. He plays by the books and plays hard, and thatʼs how the biggest case of the year ends up in his hands.  On one of the half-abandoned “luxuryˮ developments that litter Ireland, Patrick Spain and his two young children have been murdered. His wife, Jenny, is in intensive care. At first, Scorcher thinks itʼs going to be an easy solve, but too many small things canʼt be explained: the half-dozen baby monitors pointed at holes smashed in the Spainsʼ walls, the files erased from the familyʼs computer, the story Jenny told her sister about a shadowy intruder slipping past the houseʼs locks. And this neighborhood—once called Broken Harbor—holds memories for Scorcher and his troubled sister, Dina: childhood memories that Scorcher thought he had tightly under control.

"Tana French is officially my favorite crime/suspense writer! Actually, I believe she's the only crime/suspense writer I read. That's because aside from a fantastic plot-driven story she still manages to write so beautifully. I was up all night (literally) just so I could finish this book. And I had work in the morning! French is becoming quite adept at psychological suspense. Her characters are always very human, even the sickos. Two thumbs up to this book! THe LIkeness is still my favorite though. :)"

    " This is another terrific Dublin Murder Squad mystery from Tana French. Each time she picks a new detective and a new case, and it is always a little bit personal to the detective. Her style is such that you feel like you are in the main character's head. I loved it!! "

    " This story kind of fell apart at the end (I think French was trying too hard not to be predictable), but this is by far the best book of the series. As always, she kept me up way past my bedtime because I can never put her books down once I've started them. "

    " A beautifully written crime novel, hugely atmospheric and emotionally affecting. Only negative is that it's overlong - a lot of the chapters could have been trimmed considerably. But there were points in this novel when I was more absorbed than I have been in a long time. Highly recommended. "

    " I read this in a weekend; very fast paced and at times had me putting it down because I was so agonized by what was happening. It was a good mystery in that I didn't anticipate the outcome. Also all that seemed so mystical turned out just to be the simplest answer. Which is how life is, isn't it? "

    " I think this is the best of the four mysteries Tana French sets in Ireland. It was a good mystery with twists and turns that made sense and kept you speculating about the murderer. The quality of writing takes it from mystery to literature. "

    " My only complaint about Ms. French's books is that I'm ready for the story to wrap up about 3/4 of the way through. The last hundred pages or so are often skimmed just do I can put all the pieces together quickly. Great read. I think her first was still my favorite. "
