Faithful Place: A Novel Audiobook

" This was a very suspense filled noval!! It kept you guessing and your heart was right in the middle of the book! "

" What a great trip to Dublin. The language and the characters are, well, you know yourself. The mystery grounded in first love and dysfunctional family was well done. "

" Sorry, didn't like it at all (4/11) "

" very enjoyable mystery "

" After reading Broken Harbor I was confused as to the popularity of French's writing. After the urging from another reader I decided to give French another try. Admittedly I did like this book better. French does know how to create engaging stories and characters and interesting mysteries. However, while her characters are rich with motive and heartbreaking personal stories I still have issue with how French's characters interact with each other. All her characters have incredibly linear conversations where intention, motive and action are all laid out in incredible detail. I appreciate that she is trying to be true to human nature and the complicated dynamics of dysfunctional families. But in reality dysfunctional families don't communicate with each other with such honesty. I appreciated the interior life of Francis, but as soon as he started receiving the abruptly honest explanations from his family I had a hard time accepting the story. "

" It was engaging, had to keep reading to see 'who done it', but it was more a commentary on the life of the Irish on the other side of the track - not the 'lace curtain'. Takes place in Dublin and the Irish idioms need some getting used to. For those of Irish descent, it brings us home to our ancestors, and I wonder what it was like for them. I hope it was better that the Mackey family. "

" Tana French is a very smart writer. I love her approach to class issues in this book. "

" I love this book. It's about the Murder Squad in Dublin, Ireland. Since I've been there it was cool to know some of the landmarks mentioned and I understood alot of the lingo. This is the 3rd book Tana French book about the Murder Squad. Each book focuses on a different main character. "

" Tana French just my be my new favorite author! This is the 3rd book I've read by her and each one was better than the last (and the first I read was a 5-star rated book)! Love the style of writing and the depth of her characters. Can't wait to read her next book(s). "

" a little too long but good. "

" Another great mystery by Tana French. "

" Possibly my favorite of the four Tana French mysteries so far. Deeply real feeling, and a pleasure to feel you are entering the Dublin she's created in description and colloquial dialogue. "

" Her books are top-notch. This one is no exception, unfortunately, I sort of figured out what I thought was going on quite early in the book. I don't think it was obvious, but I do think if you've read enough of her books, it might be evident. "

" I like Tana French.. a lot. but I haven't liked anything by her as much as In the Woods.. I'm hoping Broken Harbour will top the first in this series though. "

" Always brilliant! "

" Another great French book!! "

" First Tana French book I have read. Absolutely loved it. What she does with the characters is amazing. I will definitely read the other three. "

" This was a well written book that I never really got in to. Unlike Tana French's previous two books this one was not an edge of the seat page turner. Not that it has to be this way, it was just that I wanted it to be. "

" Really more like 3.5 stars. "

" Started out interesting and then it became slow drudgery. "

" Everything Tana French has done is perfect. This book has layers of subtlety that start to appear at the end. Also, she is very faithful to her characters, and they are so consistent, so much so that it kind of surprises you. "

" Another amazing mystery from Tana French. Her mysteries have so many layers and delve into relationships in a way that leaves you thinking about the story long after it ends. "

" I love her characterizations. Impossible to believe that Frank came from this home. Mystery was not too mysterious, but rather in love with Frank by the end. "

" It was good enough to read all the way through but I could easily have walked away and not cared "who done it." "

" She can't write a bad book. Bring me more!! "

" Fine, ok. Hated it at the end because I knew Shay did it. Really good fiction considering it's a mystery. Cliche of detective was like the dog being the hero in "dancing in the Rain." It was cheezy but you loved it. "

" LOVED IT! This one's her best yet! "

" Thought this was good questionable language. Had me wanting to continue reading. "

" i have enjoyed all three of her books. I liked the setting of Ireland. "

" I couldn't finish it, did not like at all. "

" Love how her writing makes you feel like you're in Ireland "

" The third and most recent of French's novels, I found this one satisfying but very sad. "

" This is a murder mystery, but so much more. I loved it. This is the 2nd book of hers that I've read - also read The Likeness a few years ago. I love the way she weaves her stories together and how rich all the characters are. Great author! "

" I don't really like murder mysteries. "

" I just could not get into this book like I did the other 2. I didn't like how the other 2 books didn't come into play ever (like they did in The Likeness) and that I knew who did it from the very beginning. Still entertaining. "
