Tana French: The Trespasser (2017, Penguin Books) 4 stars

Review of 'The Trespasser' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Look, I'm finally reviewing a book... it's so hot, it takes my motivation for doing anything away.



The Trespasser might be my favorite of Tana French's mysteries. As usual, I won't give out too much information, not to worry!

We readers get to know Antoinette Conway and her new partner, Stephen Moran, in a more in depth way than before. Conway's past, and her real and perceived career challenges as the only woman on the murder squad add timely authenticity to the background. What I find most intriguing about these stories are the human relationships, and the way French depicts them.

The main plot is a murder with a solve that is complicated and unpredictable--so many people out to deceive, for so many reasons! At the same time, a drama is unfolding in Conway's life and her professional relationship with Moran is becoming more entrenched.

I highly recommend The Trespasser. It'll keep you thinking.
