Jim's Review
🐛
Tana French writes atmosphere like nobody else — you can practically feel the damp Irish woods closing in. This is a detective novel that's really about memory, trauma, and the stories we tell ourselves. The prose is gorgeous, the partnership between Ryan and Maddox is electric, and the ending is unsettling for days. Four worms — bring a flashlight.
