Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Random House | Viking Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful novel by Tana French. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
A young woman, Rachel Holohan, goes missing in small town Ardnakelty, Ireland. She was about to be engaged to the son of the local big boss. Retired Chicago Detective Cal Hooper lives here now and is just beginning to understand the tangles of family and land. His fiancé, Lena, wants nothing to do with those tangles, but she's keeping her own secrets.
This is the third and final book in the Cal Hooper series. While they are all 5 star books in my opinion and are better off read together, you could certainly read this as a stand alone if you must. Tana French is so fabulous at creating a world that you feel part of, feeling the weather, the atmosphere, the tension. They are all long books - this one at over 500 pages - but you get so immersed that the time just passes as you read. It's a slow, immersive read and worthy of the time spent. I love the character development over this series, especially with Cal and Trey, and am feeling a bit sorry that I won't be able to see what happens to them from here. Highly recommended series!
