Much like “In the Woods” in its style, this story follows Cassie, the partner from the first novel, into her new undercover case. This author is great at her specific style and weaves both books together well. But, they’ve not been anything extraordinary. This one was a little far fetched in its plot points (I’m at times critical of how “realistic” things in fiction should be, which seems silly but whatever). Decent read, but not sure I need to read either again.

3.5/5 reviews say it’s not necessary to have read the first in the series but ultimately I think I should have to understand Cassie’s trauma a bit better.

Really liked this book. This is the second book I've read by Tana French and I liked this more than the first. The story is a little far fetched but it flows well and the author makes it believable. She does a great job giving life to her characters. I great read.

I loved this book. My first book in the world of Tana French and I couldn’t put it down! It was a page turner and detective Cassie Maddox is a fantastic character.
