A gripping new mystery from the million-copy-bestselling author Tana French

On a cold night in a remote Irish village, a girl goes missing.

Sweet, loving Rachel Holohan was about to be engaged to the son of the local big shot. Instead, she’s dead in the river.

In a place like this, her death isn’t simple. It comes wrapped in generations-old grudges and power struggles, and it splits the townland in two. Retired Chicago detective Cal Hooper has friends here now and he owes them loyalty, but his fiancée Lena wants nothing to do with Ardnakelty’s tangles. As the feud becomes more vicious, their settled peace starts to crack apart. And when they uncover a scheme that casts a new light on Rachel’s death and threatens the whole village, they find themselves in the firing line.

i have sampled quite a few murder "mysteries" over recent years, and some "plot fatigue" seems to have been creeping into the "novels". Same here in a way. After having gone through all of the Cal Hopper and Dublin Murder Squad series, I'd say this author's plots too, aren't any revolution. At times even flimsy (nothing for anyone to go commit murder over), at times the glue to the perpetrators doesn't seem to stick much (the killing feels somewhat out of character), even in a world where people DO get killed for no good reason at all, at all. In addition, personally I find the way the novels embed proselytizing about Zeitgeist at times to overburden the emissaries to the point of becoming incongruous and distracting.
That said, I am rating this a 5 star experience, because of the immersive dialogue-centric depiction of most of the characters carrying the respective stories, within mostly believable societal dynamics. World phenomena coming across as vivid as any personal recollection adds to the immersiveness, which I personally enjoy.
