This sequel to The Searcher takes us back to Cal and Trey in rural Ireland for a slow-burning mystery. With fantastic character building and use of setting, Tana French’s writing is as exquisite as ever. Thank you Net Galley and the publishers for this ARC.

One for the armchair detectives, the chronically online generation of the early 2000s. We see a family falling apart after a disaster, our main character’s life devolving into an alcohol-fuelled mess where she is haunted by the past and unable to stop searching for answers that don’t exist. I was unable to put this one down. Thanks Bloomsbury Publishing Plc and Net Galley for the ARC.
