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.

Good writing held back by the extremely slow pace. She does a great job with character development and painting the picture of life in this small town, but it doesn’t suck you in the way the books in her Dublin Murder series did.
