David Clubb reviewed Broken Harbour by Tana French

No cover — Broken Harbour (2012, Hodder Headline Ireland)

Top level writing, brilliant characters, cracking plot

5 stars

I try to reserve my 5* ratings for books that thrill and inspire with their imagination, beauty of prose and thoroughness of plot development.

This one hit all those criteria. Astonishing grasp of people and plot, it unravels slowly, slowly, with consummate skill and superb technical detail, building to a crescendo that can't be put down.

I've enjoyed all the TF books I've read to date, but this one is the pinnacle. Ardderchog 🙏🌟👏👏👏
