About this listen
From Tana French, author of the forthcoming novel The Searcher, a New York Times best-selling novel that “proves anew that [Tana French] is one of the most talented crime writers alive” (The Washington Post).
“Required reading for anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence and ingenious plotting.” (The New York Times)
Mick “Scorcherˮ Kennedy is the star of the Dublin Murder Squad. He plays by the books and plays hard, and thatʼs how the biggest case of the year ends up in his hands.
On one of the half-abandoned "luxury" developments that litter Ireland, Patrick Spain and his two young children have been murdered. His wife, Jenny, is in intensive care. At first, Scorcher thinks itʼs going to be an easy solve, but too many small things can't be explained: the half dozen baby monitors pointed at holes smashed in the Spains' walls, the files erased from the familyʼs computer, the story Jenny told her sister about a shadowy intruder slipping past the house's locks. And this neighborhood - once called Broken Harbor - holds memories for Scorcher and his troubled sister, Dina: childhood memories that Scorcher thought he had tightly under control.

For maverick LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic.

From a dangerous maze of blind alleys to a daring criminal heist beneath the city, his survival instincts will once again be tested to their limit.

Critic reviews
“French ...[is] drawn not just to the who but also to the why - those bigger mysteries about the human weaknesses that drive somebody to such inhuman brutality. What really gives Broken Harbor its nerve-rattling force is her exploration of events leading up to the murders, rendered just as vividly as the detectives’ scramble to solve them.” [Entertainment Weekly (A- rating)]
“Broken Harbour is a novel, of course, but it's also a headline...it's good to see contemporary literature engaging a crisis that has had such an impact on the lives of so many. This is, in fact, what good literature does. It makes us look at our world and perhaps forces us to see what we have chosen to ignore.” (Los Angeles Times)
“Ms. French creates haunting, damaged characters who have been hit hard by some cataclysm...This may sound like a routine police procedural. But like Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl, this summer’s other dagger-sharp display of mind games, Broken Harbor is something more... she has irresistibly sly ways of toying with readers’ expectations.” (Janet Maslin, The New York Times)

Story
A body always tells a story - but this child’s was a blank page. Rita reached for the lantern. She trained its light on the child’s face. "Who are you?" she murmured, but the face said as little as the rest of her. It was impossible to tell whether, in life, these blunt and unfinished features had borne the imprint of prettiness, timid watchfulness, or sly mischief. If there had once been curiosity or placidity or impatience here, life had not had time to etch it into permanence. Only a very short time ago, the body and soul of this little girl had still been securely attached.

Story
Homicide is always an abomination, but there is something exceptionally disturbing about the victim discovered in a high, lonely place: a corpse with a mouth full of sand, abandoned at a crime scene seemingly devoid of tracks or useful clues. Though it goes against his better judgment, Navajo tribal police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn cannot help but suspect the hand of a supernatural killer.

Just when it seems too long
I feel like Ms. French’s mysteries are about one long chapter too long. She is a tad repetitive in her stories. But somewhere in those last three long chapters my understanding of human nature, life or maybe just a literary parallels brings a very satisfying end to the story

Tana French does it again! Scorcher is a guy you want to hate but makes loads of sense on why he does the thing he does. This story was tragic and wild and still left me wondering. All in all I couldn’t stop listening.

Broken Harbor and Broken Ending
I've listened to other books from this series and I agree with other reviews that the ends are not always satisfying in these books. BUT that said the descriptions and stories are very intriguing.

Murder Mystery as Literature.
Outstanding narration with a complex story line that contrasts how individual interpretation of the facts leads to different moral truths. Poignant story for today's economic uncertainty and how life can unravel so quickly.

Love this except...
The narrator did the sisters voice too loud. I can see the tone being annoying, but I didn’t want to have to change the volume every time she spoke.
It’s hard to do good narration! This was excellent except for that!

good but not my favorite
I was pretty sure this wouldn't be my favorite Tana French and I was correct although this is only my third read (watched into the woods). I love Tanas writing and the characters but I struggled at the beginning and the very end actually felt a little rushed to me. I thought maybe there would be surprising twist at the end but there wasn't really and I prefer a nice wrapped up ending which there was kind of but not completely. i also found the premise of the murder a little far fetched, but the details were great! still a very good story and worth the read/listen. for now the likeness is my favorite and I'll see about the next Tana book!
