Publisher's Summary
Listen to the New York Times best seller by Tana French, author of the forthcoming novel The Searcher and “the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past 10 years” (The Washington Post).
A year ago a boy was found murdered at a girlsʼ boarding school, and the case was never solved. Detective Stephen Moran has been waiting for his chance to join Dublin’s Murder Squad when 16-year-old Holly Mackey arrives in his office with a photo of the boy with the caption: “I know who killed him".
Stephen joins with Detective Antoinette Conway to reopen the case - beneath the watchful eye of Holly’s father, fellow detective Frank Mackey. With the clues leading back to Holly’s close-knit group of friends, to their rival clique, and to the tangle of relationships that bound them all to the murdered boy, the private underworld of teenage girls turns out to be more mysterious and more dangerous than the detectives imagined.
What the critics say
"An absolutely mesmerizing read." (Gillian Flynn)
"A book full of giddy, slangy, devious schoolgirls who cannot be trusted about anything, at least not on the first, second, third or fourth rounds of questioning.... Part of this book’s trickiness is its way of letting characters hide the truth behind the smoke screen of language and let both readers and investigators gradually figure out who is lying." (Janet Maslin, The New York Times)
"There are echoes of Leopold and Loeb and Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, but the language and landscape are unmistakably French’s, as is the way she excavates the past to illuminate the present." (O Magazine)

love her books, this was my least favourite
I found the double narrators annoying, lots of similar characters hard to keep track for audio listening.

Drawn out
The plot is fantastic but you’ll wanna skip through parts just to get it over with. It’s 20 hours of audio with about 8 hours of relevant content.

Needs a new version
Too bad the narrators are doing their parts separately. It would have been so much better if each had been doing their own renditions of the male and female voices in both parts. I had a hard time getting used to the guys approximation of teenagers... Almost gave up the book!

The audio might make you crazy.
Listening to the Male audio voice do teenage girl voice made me want to stop listening.
The story is good -- intriguing and interesting. I love the dynamic between the girls and the detectives.

Excellent!!!
Tana French has become one of my favourite authors in detective/crime. Very well done and never disappointing. The narrators seem to change per novel so you have to get used to a new one each time but that does not throw me off . Well done. Not giving away any secrets.
