Even better on re-read.

Broken Harbor (Dublin Murder Squad, #4) by Tana French

by 2 Comments

This is one of my favorites from this series, and I’m kicking myself for not writing this review immediately upon finishing it for the second time, because I got something different out of it this time than I did on my first read. But I don’t remember what that was! The only notes I left myself consisted of the temporary review I left over on Goodreads, which read, “This one whomped me good.” So helpful. Maybe it was something about Scorcher and his black and […]

Tana French Holds Up!

The Likeness by Tana French

My Tana French Dublin Murder Series reread continues! I can’t believe I read this 4 years ago! Time flies when you are sitting in your house staring into the abyss. But I digress. Original review below in italics with more goodness at the bottom. I received this book as one of my CBR Exchange gifts from The Chancellor (thank you!!) and was delighted to receive it. It has become a nice tradition as I received the first in the series as part of my exchange […]

Behold: Your Quarantimes Binge Read

In the Woods by Tana French

“In these trying times” (said with solemn radio announcer voice) it is hard to focus on anything and reading has been a bit of an uphill climb for me. I want something that’s a bit of a distraction, something I can sink my teeth into. There is one unread Tana French book that I currently own and I’ve been saving it because she is THE BEST but then, once I read it, I have no more waiting in the reads (sob). My husband suggested I […]

I Think I’ve Read This One Before

The Trespasser by Tana French

by 2 Comments

When I like a book, I have the tendency to obsessively read everything the author has ever wrote.  Such was the case after I read In the Woods by Tana French.  I loved the atmosphere, the mystery, and especially the characters.  I of course, read all the Tana French books I could find.  When I was going through the epub files in my laptop to find a quick read, I was pleasantly surprised to find a French book I haven’t read yet.  Or have I?

Faithful Place (Dublin Murder Squad, #3) by Tana French

by Leave a Comment

This was even better the second time. I think this might actually be the most balanced of all the books, in terms of tragedy vs. hope. In the Woods is just tragic all around, as is Broken Harbour, and The Likeness is still too full of Cassie’s grief over her partnership/friendship with Rob, and with what happens in the actual book, for it to feel much like a win when she gets proposed to by Sam. But here, devastating things happen to Frank (happened to Frank 22 years before), […]
