The Trespasser

 

The Trespasser by Tana French
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

French goes back to form with this installment of the Squad series. Interestingly, she filp flops the viewpoint of the same team that investigated The Secret Place. Now we get to understand why Detective Conway comes across so brassy and how Detective Moran is viewed by her and others. The murder investigation is okay but the exploration of how the stories we tell (to others and ourselves) and the stories we believe shape everything we perceive. (Need a new perception? Tell a new story). In fact that theme might have overshadowed the mystery itself, but its a good idea to think about. Not the best of the bunch, but a solid contribution to the collection.
