I will probably never get over Frank and Rosie from Faithful Place. I shipped Rob and Cassie so hard in In the Woods, and Cassie herself made the implausible plot of The Likeness actually okay. The crimes are whatever the detectives - their voices, quirks, passions and personal histories - are what make her books so damn addictive. To start with, I feel like my love for French is centred around her awesome, snarky, flawed, messy, human detectives. ![]() It's definitely not a bad book, but The Witch Elm - French's first standalone outside of her Dublin Murder Squad series - just didn't contain a lot of the stuff I've loved from this author. I keep trying to convince myself to bump this up a star because it's hard to believe Tana French can write anything that isn't amazing. I just knew I jinxed it by writing that first paragraph in my review of The Secret Place. I actually didn't love a Tana French book. ![]()

Count yourself lucky if you’ve been perfectly satisfied with your life in comparison to anyone else, especially someone much more successful in a career or wealthier or more attractive or anything that most people perceive as being the hallmark of what leads to happiness. I imagine many people have often said “I wish I had his/her life” at a low point when feelings of envy and jealousy often get the better of us. ![]() ![]() Ella lived in an abandoned theatre among the discarded costumes and it was there that Nick spent his leave. Nick was sitting in the café with Ella – a young Frenchwoman whom he had first seen on the streets of Paris trying unsuccessfully to sell picture frames. In an opening sentence reminiscent of Ernest Hemingway, the author places Nick in Paris on leave from fighting at the front during World War I – A heavy morning fog draped across Paris and there was the corner café.
