Best Book of 2020New York Times |NPR | New York Post
"This hushed suspense tale about thwarted dreams of escape may be her best one yet . . . Its own kind of masterpiece." --Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post
"A new Tana French is always cause for celebration . . . Read it once for the plot; read it again for the beauty and subtlety of French's writing." --Sarah Lyall, The New York Times
Cal Hooper thought a fixer-upper in a bucolic Irish village would be the perfect escape. After twenty-five years in the Chicago police force and a bruising divorce, he just wants to build a new life in a pretty spot with a good pub where nothing much happens. But when a local kid whose brother has gone missing arm-twists him into investigating, Cal uncovers layers of darkness beneath his picturesque retreat, and starts to realize that even small towns shelter dangerous secrets.
"One of the greatest crime novelists writing today" (Vox) weaves a masterful, atmospheric tale of suspense, asking how to tell right from wrong in a world where neither is simple, and what we stake on that decision.

Her best book yet
A great read and wonderful story. So much better edited than her previous books!
Boltsfan92
Ok, bad ending
Not a fan of the anticlimactic ending. Good read
Music lover 222111
Excellent
Excellent. Channels a world of isolation and shadows.
Ibbbbaaaa
Amazing
My favorite Tana French book. Has all the elements: a excellent story, good pace, perfect amount of details & setting,
Toms River Shore Girl
A quiet book
I enjoyed this novel immensely. Much different from her prior books but I enjoyed the character study of a man at odds with his life and the somewhat redemptive quality of a small town and helping another by finding the truth. I hope the author revisits this character and this small town in the future.

Meh
My first Tana French novel. After reading a great deal of hype, I was somewhat disappointed. I like the writing style but the story was nothing special.
Eye Full Tower
The Best Kind Of Novel
Atmospheric and compelling. The characters seem to step out of the bog, and speak to you in a dialect that didn’t even know you could understand. It really gives you a whole new perspective on what’s going on in the small villages across Ireland, or anywhere for that matter. It’s a page turner that deserves to savored. I am looking forward to reading Tana French’s other novels.

This author develops her storyline slowly using very lyrical content. At times, the plot line sags but overall, a good read
marfy17
Ok
I like the relationship between trey and cal but the book was pretty boring and the investigation was stupid
Auggie's Man
Plot 4, characters 6
As one reviewer said, “Read it through for the story, then again for the writing.” Couldn’t have said it better. After I read another of hers I might come back to reread this one.
T Ferfuson
I usually love her stuff
But this book was not it. I trudged through pages and pages of nothing happening only to get to a very boring ending. I kept hoping it would get better but it didn’t. Skip this one imho.
stone crap
What’s the point?
I’m not sure about this new genre of Ms French which I guess I can only describe as crime drama gone awry. It’s different, for sure. Very unfulfilling for me as a reader

The Searcher
A novel of varying plots of characters, site, and environment. Enjoyed the details of the atmosphere and the sparseness of feeling in his renovation. The undercurrent of good versus evil in this small Irish community feels authentic. A good read.
Elizabeth Jane
Huge disappointment
The least interesting and most poorly written of all her books. Sorely disappointed. I disliked every single character.
Matt1859
A good read but a bad story
Was a great read well written but the plot was terrible.
Old man and the dog
Worth the wait
It was a slow starter, but the author used that slow start to build characters that I ended up caring very much about, and she used that slow start to create the appropriate atmosphere and to paint a complete picture of the setting. Give it a chance. The payoff is well worth it.
Todgsmith
Refreshing and engaging accomplishment
A great read. Full of images and a quiet meeting of male and female culturally informed life experiences. All wrapped in a great story. Sorry when it ended but pleased to have gone through journey.

Tana French is a gifted describer of scene and character. I didn’t want this to end. Dialogue incredible.
ould sod
The Searcher
Very good. Probably helped to have just finished Banville’s Snow which is shockingly dreadful
DoubleDDenny
The Searcher
Superbly paced novel that allows characters to reveal themselves in authentic ways. Imagery is creative but subtle, not trying to convince but to nudge, to coax. Nice mix of melancholy and optimism, often in the same sentence. Does not resort to inexplicable or not credible theatrics. I highly recommend.
Callanish7
Awful adolescent writing
Not worth the money! The writing is so amateurish. There is too much dialogue,the story is predictable, and the characters are cliches. There are also stupid digressions and everything is a pathetic stereotype. An elementary school kid would have gotten an F for this dreck. The story unfolds so slowly without any real tension or interests and ends poorly. Don't bother!
tinbucktwo
Meh
Tedious. Very slow. She writes well but the book really doesn’t go anywhere until the end. An over hyped novel.
Whitmben
More a piece of literature than a mystery
This differed from Tana’s other books. Though not much of anything happened (particularly for the first half), somehow everything happened. I couldn’t put it down, but it wasn’t because of the mystery, it was in spite of the mystery. The mystery was secondary to the beautiful writing. The characters so developed.
Ms. Phoebes
Great story
I really enjoyed this! No, it’s not a fast-paced thriller. Tana French’s descriptions of this part of Ireland, along with deeply involved character studies, made this “what happened” story absolutely tantalizing for me. So descriptive. I’ll remember this one for a long time. Thank you, Ms. French. Cants wait for your next one!

This is the second book I’ve read by Tana French and not sure how to rate it. Both were very well written and suspenseful, right up to the last page and then what a disappointment. Will probably not buy another book by her.
msw cat
A big disappointment
Every character is a cliche. The dialogue is ridiculous and repetitive. I own every one of Tana French’s book and have loved them all with the exception of The Witch Elm which improved somewhat the second time I read it but The Searcher? Even a true fan can’t enjoy this terrible book
SparkleCookie
Started out but landed flat
Not a fan of this one it started out interesting enough but then started stinking it up and never recovered

The Searcher
I was truly excited to buy French’s new novel! However, an Irish Western with an American protagonist is a dull read. I’m halfway through & forcing myself to finish. Cal is boring & predictable, Tre a stereotype of “poor Irish families.” DO NOT recommend buying this, a real dud from an excellent author.

Slow moving
Story moves slowly. Subtle anti police message. Horrible ending.
Artymusician
The Searcher
I enjoyed reading this even though I’ve never liked Westerns. Cal and Trey are great characters, but I prefer this author’s other novels. I don’t think I’d like to live in that place, either, but must admit having a group of neighbors willing to do whatever it takes to keep out Dublin gangs to keep the neighborhood safe is tempting. Reminds me of those Charles Bronson movies where he provides vigilante justice.
