7. The Searcher

By Tana French (451 ebook)

I've read all the Tana French books except for the one that came out last year. I enjoyed the Dublin Murders but was less enthusiastic about The Witch Elm. This one is about a Chicago police detective whose marriage falls apart and he moves to rural Ireland to get a fresh start and a new perspective. A troubled thirteen-year old befriends him and eventually asks for help locating a missing sibling. The book is a slow burn with lots of atmosphere, intesting characters, and a real sense of an outsider moving into a small community. Yesterday was rainy and I enjoyed a lazy afternoon reading the last half of this book. I haven't done that in a long time.
