Worth the wait. Set in the Irish countryside with an American main character - an ex cop from Chicago with his own rural upbringing - the plot unfolds gradually at a pace suited to the setting. However, it's not a slow book; the plot and characters build and weave together with the author's usual skill and style, building to a strong finish; the final chapter is the best and raised my rating to 4.5/5 stars.

For those interested, this link provides nice overview (and ranking) of the author's books. I mostly agree with the order; In The Woods and The Likeness remain my favorites. However, I would place The Trespasser as 3rd best; and I would rank The Searcher above the The Witch Elm (for non Dublin Murder Squad books).

Thanks for the detailed comments and background on this author. I’ve never read anything by Tana French but you’ve rated her highly so I will make sure to check out one of her books.

Great, start with the first one!
