A gripping new mystery from the million-copy-bestselling author Tana French

On a cold night in a remote Irish village, a girl goes missing.

Sweet, loving Rachel Holohan was about to be engaged to the son of the local big shot. Instead, she’s dead in the river.

In a place like this, her death isn’t simple. It comes wrapped in generations-old grudges and power struggles, and it splits the townland in two. Retired Chicago detective Cal Hooper has friends here now and he owes them loyalty, but his fiancée Lena wants nothing to do with Ardnakelty’s tangles. As the feud becomes more vicious, their settled peace starts to crack apart. And when they uncover a scheme that casts a new light on Rachel’s death and threatens the whole village, they find themselves in the firing line.

Tana French gently warns, around this story, that big business is ruthless and doesn't care for the natural world- which features in too.

Twisty plot with masses of psychological detail about the characters and their relationships. Beautifully written / evokes the landscape and culture and society of an Irish village. I loved the narrator / just the right voice to bring Cal to life and do all the Irish accents. More please.

Absorbs you into its world.
