The best-selling novel by Tana French, author of the forthcoming novel The Searcher, is “required reading for anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence and ingenious plotting” (The New York Times). She “inspires cultic devotion in readers” (The New Yorker) and is “the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past 10 years” (Washington Post).
“Atmospheric and unputdownable.” (People)
In best-selling Tana French’s newest “tour de force” (The New York Times), being on the Murder Squad is nothing like Detective Antoinette Conway dreamed it would be. Her partner, Stephen Moran, is the only person who seems glad she's there. The rest of her working life is a stream of thankless cases, vicious pranks, and harassment. Antoinette is savagely tough, but she's getting close to the breaking point.
Their new case looks like yet another by-the-numbers lovers' quarrel gone bad. Aislinn Murray is blond, pretty, groomed-to-a-shine, and dead in her catalog-perfect living room, next to a table set for a romantic dinner. There's nothing unusual about her - except that Antoinette's seen her somewhere before.
And that her death won't stay in its neat by-the-numbers box. Other detectives are trying to push Antoinette and Steve into arresting Aislinn's boyfriend, fast. There's a shadowy figure at the end of Antoinette's road. Aislinn's friend is hinting that she knew Aislinn was in danger. And everything they find out about Aislinn takes her further from the glossy, passive doll she seemed to be.
Antoinette knows the harassment has turned her paranoid, but she can't tell just how far gone she is. Is this case another step in the campaign to force her off the squad, or are there darker currents flowing beneath its polished surface?

Hilda Fay's performance was excellent overall and the depth of emotion she conveyed to the character Antoinette was fantastic!If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Tag line? Perhaps "ever shifting perspectives".Any additional comments?
Unfortunately, I can't listen to any more Tana French books, as I've listened to them all. But I will be looking up Hilda Fay to listen to more of her performances!Another great novel!

About the story: a complex tale about a disheartened detective who has one last chance to prove she can do the job, which involves the murder of a woman by a shy man who apparently stalked her prior to killing her. I won't say more because it might spoil the book. As usual, French delves into the motivations of the detectives pursuing a case as those of the victim and possible murderers.
Excellent story badly narrated
