I give up on Tana French. The Searcher was mediocre, and so was this sequel. I liked the plot, but it took way too long to unfold. If a story is going to take its time, then I need to be hooked by something else - dialogue, what’s happening between characters, the psychological process of a character, etc. None of that was in either of these books.

Narrator Roger Clark was wonderful. I was surprised at a twist, and her writing as always is brilliant at describing the natural world.
