If you’ve followed me on GoodReads, you are well aware of my affinity for Tana French. A former parishioner of mine turned me onto her books three years ago. I liked In The Woods well enough but at the time, I felt there was something lacking. I didn’t know that…a. I was unfamiliar with French’s style (subsequent readings would help me appreciate it more) and b. it was a first novel and I’ve since learned to be more graceful with first novels. I then read The Likeness and […]
Unflinching
One of the best parts of reading Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad books (and there are many best parts, I’ve gotta say) is that you can dive into any of them and get nearly the full experience and feeling even if you haven’t read all of them.
The best way to find a murderer
The Likeness (2008) is the second in Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad Series. I read the first book, In the Woods back in 2015. So far I’ve found these books both impressive and disturbing. They are relatively long and complex murder mysteries that dig deep into the psychological toll that these cases take on the detectives. Cassie Maddox is back from In the Woods. After the disastrous ending to her last murder investigation, she transferred to Domestic Violence, never spoke to her old partner again, and began to date […]
Tana French – READ HER BOOKS. PLEASE NOTE THE CAPS. I REALLY MEAN IT.
Broken Harbor (Dublin Murder Squad, #4) by Tana French
This is the fourth of Tana French’s gripping “Dublin Murder Squad” series and I cannot get enough. When someone asks for book recommendations she is always at the top of my list. I don’t know if it is a fair comparison, but I say that if you have ever enjoyed an episode of any iteration of Law and Order you will like this book, and the whole series. To be accurate, her books aren’t your traditional “Law and Order” whodunnit format, but rather one of […]
Paranoia Paranoia Everybody’s Coming to Get Me
The problem with finding an excellent series is that you eventually run out of material to consume. Such is the case now with Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad; I finished The Trespasser last week and now I want to know how long I have to wait before the seventh installment is published. Will there BE as seventh installment? I hope so. Trespasser is unique thus far in the series in that it focuses on the same two detectives as the previous entry, Antoinette Conway and […]
Dear Tana French, Never stop writing!!
When I read Tana French’s debut thriller, In the Woods, my expectations were high because I had heard such great things about her storytelling, and she soared past my expectations. This was a book I did not put down, in fact, stuck in the car on a road trip I read on, knowing that reading in the car makes me feel gross. It. Did not. Matter. The oversimplified way I explain her style is that I tell people if you have ever been sucked into […]
