The Searcher - Tana French

 The Searcher - Tana French

He and she read


Although this story is a bit different from French’s prior novels in that its main protagonist is an American (Chicago) detective who has retired to Ireland, it still features her knack for storytelling.  Her descriptions are so vivid, not only can you visualize Ireland, you can smell it (and taste the bacon!). She conveys a good feel for the rural life, its unspoken social code,  and the various characters that make up a small village.  

This is not a thriller, but rather a very good and literate work of fiction that will leave you with an appreciate for her writing.  

He also read it and liked it.
