The Trespasser: A Novel

"If you’re familiar with Tana French’s mysteries, I can probably just stop here and tell you her new one is called The Trespasser, so you can hop off the Internet and go buy it. Such are the pleasures of French’s books, a series of crime novels about the Dublin Murder Squad that require the reader to disappear into them immediately upon acquisition. If you’ve never read them, I’m jealous. Each book in the series is narrated by a different detective from the squad, which skews the perspective in a delicious way. This one is about Antoinette Conway, who is solving a murder with her partner Stephen Moran (he narrated the last book). The death of a pretty blond girl with a fake tan seems like a no-brainer, but French is too devilish a plotter to believe your first, second or even fifth instinct. All the mysteries by Tana French are worth your time; but this one is my favorite of all six."
