From the unpromising foundation of a twenty-plus year old murder, French weaves a tapestry of personal and familial interaction that is riddled with tension, envy, resentment, fear and hatred that is horrifying and at the same time compelling and gripping. The standard set in her first two novels is met and perhaps exceeded. I look forward to more of her work. Very impressive
I really enjoyed this book. It's about a detective, Frank Mackey, whose girlfriend disappears on the night they were suppose to runaway together. He is called back to his hometown and his estranged family when Rosie's remains are found 22 years later. It really kept me guessing till the end. Tana French can really write a good mystery.
