![]() ![]() ![]() He's an asshole, but it's not that because sometimes assholes can be interesting (I might want to rewrite that sentence later). And that's before we've got to Kennedy, Moran and the ferocious Antoinette Conway. I will probably never get over Frank and Rosie from Faithful Place. ![]() I shipped Rob and Cassie so hard in In the Woods, and Cassie herself made the implausible plot of The Likeness actually okay. The crimes are whatever the detectives - their voices, quirks, passions and personal histories - are what make her books so damn addictive. To start with, I feel like my love for French is centred around her awesome, snarky, flawed, messy, human detectives. It's definitely not a bad book, but The Witch Elm - French's first standalone outside of her Dublin Murder Squad series - just didn't contain a lot of the stuff I've loved from this author. I keep trying to convince myself to bump this up a star because it's hard to believe Tana French can write anything that isn't amazing. I just knew I jinxed it by writing that first paragraph in my review of The Secret Place. I actually didn't love a Tana French book. ![]()
