THE TRESPASSER
by
Tana French
Antoinette
Conway, of the Dublin Murder Squad, has returned. She and her partner, Stephen
Moran, were given yet another domestic – the murder of Aislinn Murray – and
Conway hates domestics. How she wishes that they would be given a nice, juicy
high-profile murder. Be careful what you wish for, Antoinette!
We follow
Conway and Moran as they try to sort out what happened to Murray and who killed
her. We are drawn into the sometimes seedy world of the murder detective. Not
only do Conway and Moran have to outthink and outwit the bad guys, but Dublin
Murder Squad’s only female detective must do this dance with her own
colleagues. Has hazing turned to harassment? Is anyone other than Moran in her
corner? Wait…is Moran even in her corner?
We are caught up in these squad
squabbles with Conway and can feel her reaching her breaking point. These
simmer – then boil – beneath the murder investigation.
Although we
suspect from the beginning that the “domestic” answer to Murray’s murder is not
the correct answer, it is nonetheless masterful to watch how Conway and Moran
work their way to the correct answer.
The
Trespasser, like French’s previous novels, is a work woven from the exquisite,
extraordinary character development for which she is known. It is, quite
simply, another Tana French masterpiece!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
