I read this one awhile back, but just preparing to write this post reminded me how great it was and how much I'd like to read a good mystery right now. I had the pleasure of reading this one in a hospital bed late at night when I couldn't sleep. A little scary, but nice to be undisturbed so I could get through the good parts! I am a big fan of Tana French - I have read the other three books in this "series", but the books don't really have anything to do with each other, except that they're all about detectives in this Dublin Murder Squad - certainly not necessary to read the others before this one. When a father and his two children are found murdered in their home, Mick Kennedy is assigned to the case. What he thinks will be an easy resolution of course turns into never-ending twists and turns (like all good murder mysteries). I like Kennedy as a character, and we get some good back story about him and his family when his mentally ill sister comes to live with him during the investigation. Once again French has managed to weave together a well-written compelling story-line, with interesting characters and enough creepiness to keep me reading but still able to fall asleep at the end of the night. Can't wait for her next one.
