This book is a long delicious read. The dialect is so intriguing and it allowed me to savor the characters more fully. I hated to see it end.

Love the characters. Unexpected story. Can’t wait for the next one to be written.

Really a well-written book; an excellent sequel to “The Searcher.” Enough surprises to make me not want to put it down. When it ended, I was sad. It could have gone on forever.

A terrific story with compelling characters in a small rural town in Ireland. The dialogue is very enjoyable.

Slow and boring.

Tana French never disappoints.

I am just overwhelmed by this book. It’s classified as a mystery and you know there will be a body, but it surpasses other books in this category. It’ll make you want to continue read it to find out the “why”, even more than the “who”. Although, finding out the “who “ was worth the wait. At no point did I know what was going to happen next. I’m having a hard time describing it. The best I can say it that the plot follows the inner workings of a small community, much as Edith Wharton, Jane Austen, and Dennis Lehane did (in Small Mercies). I suggest you read The Searcher beforehand, since it begins the story with the same characters. I’m hoping that the author will continue the storyline, making this a trilogy.

About 1/4 too long. Lengthy, tedious, unnecessary conversations could have and should have been edited out. Nevertheless, good plot and characters. I’d like to see more of Cal, Trey and Lena.

Boring. Too much dialogue compared to real story development

This is wonderful trip down the rabbit hole to a rural Irish village. That starts out with the day to day beat of a simple life before grabbing you headlong into a deep mystery and the power of love. Couldn’t put it down.
