“Ah, background checks,' I say. 'The foundation of every beautiful romance.”
Okay, I'll get to the book review in a second but first, CONFESSION TIME. I think the book series that I have recommended to the most amount of people is The Dublin Murder Mystery Squad. Tana French is just the best when it comes to creating atmospheric, cozy mystery novels, that are as compelling as they are un-putdownable. I have been savoring this series for so long! Most of the people that I have recommended this series to finished it before I even did! This was the final book, and even though I have two more Tana french books to finish reading, I feel so sad that I have officially finished this series 😫
The Trespasser follows Dectective Conway, a female murder detective that hasn't really solved any big murder cases yet. She is newer to the murder squad and being the only female means she is a target for immature bullying and sexual advances. She is in the right place at the right time when her very first murder investigation gets handed to her. It seems like an open and shut domestic violence case, but after digging a little deeper, something feels off to Conway and her gut leads her to investigate further.
The Trespasser was such a ride. It takes a lot for me to he surprised by twists and turns in a mystery novel because I have read so many. Half ews at through this book I gave up guessing and just enjoyed the ride. The way this novel unraveled was to enticing I couldn't stop listening to it from the 50% mark on. I loved Detective Conway's character. She was somehow both straight forward and baffling complex at the same time. I felt entrenched in Conway's mind and in sync with her reactions. I haven't been this lost in a character in such a long time.
The intricacy of French's endings are my favorite. She feeds you so much fuel that you feel like you HAVE to know how everything plays out. Once you get to the end it always feels a little haunting. You always get an ending but it never feels like the one you thought you were going to get. I find myself thinking about her books compulsively for weeks and even years later after I finish them.
