## Description

Hachette Books Ireland The Secret Place : French, Tana: desertcart.ae: Books

Review: She's one of my all time fav mystery/thriller writers! Buy it! - Seek out mysteries set in the "foggy dew" of Britain and EXPECT lots of twists and female detectives like Emma Peel- classy and gutsy. She is a good writer- you might just need a dictionary and you never go "that's it?"- I recommend her to anybody who likes a good read that moves along but has food for thought- people are complex and too often a mystery promises twists and great characters- Dickensian is used too much- but Ms. French delivers!
Review: I absolutely love Tana French's books and couldn't wait to read this ... - I absolutely love Tana French's books and couldn't wait to read this one. It's actually quite different from her others, despite Stephen Moran being in it. I think it's due to the fact that it's set in a private boarding school and in one day which makes it feel very confined and a bit of an anomaly in French's ouvre. But it's still a fantastic read. What did I like? It's so well written that you just sail along, immersed in the story and obviously the mystery of who killed Chris Harper. These girls twist and turn so much in their reluctant answering of the detectives' interviews that you just never know where you are or what happened. You really feel the frustration of the police. Stephen smooth transition to a new type of detective to interview each girl, the best fit to get the most out of the witness is masterly and accomplished. And even though it's a big book, it never drags and each page takes you a little further into the mystery. I particularly enjoyed the flashbacks that reveal the story at the same pace as the detectives in the present uncover the truth. What didn't I like? Hmmm. Sometimes the girls speak like teenage cliches. Sometimes their dialogue lacks subtlety, which French is normally a master of. It's like the worst stereotype you can imagine, that you have never actually heard but just exaggerate. I cringed. The supernatural element. Very odd indeed. I won't go further on that - you can see for yourself. That all said, it was a great read - not a patch on French's other books - but one for a winter night.

### ⭐⭐⭐ un giallo che cattura (ma lascia addosso un senso di malessere)
*by N***G on 10 March 2016*

si legge una pagina dietro l'altra, ma l'atmosfera densa di cattiveria, complotti, bugie e di (quasi) invalicabile muro di omertà tra i protagonisti disturba un po'.
