“An absolutely mesmerizing read. . . . Tana French is simply this: a truly great writer.” —Gillian Flynn

Read the New York Times bestseller by Tana French, author of the The Hunter 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 sixteen-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.

I found the double narrators annoying, lots of similar characters hard to keep track for audio listening.

Clever mystery novel. Narration hard to follow, at least on the girls side. It was hard to figure out what was happening.

The girl’s narrative was not easy to listen to. The sound was poor.

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!

Needs a new version

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.

The audio might make you crazy.

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.

Excellent!!!
