A new novel from the Dublin cycle of the Queen of the Irish detective.
Antoinette Conway and Stephen Moran, who brilliantly revealed the murder in the novel "Secret Place", now official partners. In the murder department they are kept in a black body, only ordinary cases of domestic violence, and paperwork are entrusted. But once they are sent to a banal challenge - a woman was killed, and all at first glance, obviously, is obvious - a poorly interesting quarrel of lovers, which ended in a tragedy. Already, when examining the crime scene, many oddities are found. And the further, the more confusing. The life of a victim, ordinary in appearance of a girl, hid a lot of secrets and surprises. The new investigation is poured into a real paranoia - Antoinette is sure that this case will become fatal to herself. It seems to her that they want to substitute her, get rid, and this is at best. We have to conduct the case with a constant eye on - whether someone is eavesdropping on them, whether he is peeping. Partners have no doubt that the ordinary "Bytovuha" will bring them to a serious conspiracy. Roman Tanya French is much more than a detective, this is a serious post -feministic statement on one of the main among the last years "Woman against the male world", as well as a slightly sarcastic look at the sacralization of psychological injury.
Irish novels Irish Tana French - the case when the reader counts on the detective, and, ultimately, receives it: strong, logical, with good dynamics, charming detectives and an unexpected denouement. But on the way from the tie to the finale, the reader receives something immeasurably larger - not just a genre -master movement from point A to point B, but amazingly appropriate glimpses of the real, non -illusory magic.

When you read Ms. French - and her books are required for everyone who appreciates a tough, intellectual, inventive detective - keep in mind: all your assumptions will be erroneous.
The New York Times
Tana French is the most interesting, most important detective who has appeared over the past 10 years.
The Washington Post
Tana French of those authors who become cult. Usually detectives are entertained, but the detectives of the jacket are fascinated.
The New Yorker
Incredible study of the abyss between how women want to imagine themselves to the world, and a more difficult truth about them.
Harper"s Bazaar
In the approach of the French, there is no hint of genre stamping to the detective genre. Tana French, rather, is like a jazz musician-improviser. Even when it seems that the secret begins to gain outlines, it turns everything differently, amazingly going on topics, much more complex than is customary in the detective.
Chicago Tribune
Tana French not only promotes an intricate detective story, but also immerses it in complex prose, her books are elegant and gloomy reading.
Associated Press
To say that Tana French is one of the significant detectiveists, it means to say very little. She is just a significant writer.
Gillian Flynn
Tana French (1973) - Irish detective queen. But she does not have Irish roots. An American with Italian and Russian roots (her mother Elena Khvostoff) has traveled a lot around the world since childhood: father is a specialist in developing countries. After graduating from school, she entered the Dublin Trinity College for the acting department. From 17 years she lives in Ireland, which she considers her home. After the college, Tana played in the cinema, theater, and was engaged in voice. The writings with which she raved in childhood was forgotten. But when she was thirty, the old passion suddenly flared up again. She wrote her first novel ("in forest more often") between castings. The debut turned out to be excellent - the book was met enthusiastically. The novel received several awards, became a bestseller. By the 2015th year, the debut detective Tanya French was dispersed by a total circulation of more than a million copies. Flavorwire magazine has included it in the list of the 50 best debut novels since 1950. Her next novel "Dead Return? .." (2008) instantly headed the lists of bestseller in different countries. "Secret Place" - the fifth novel of the writer, went out in Fantom last year. In an interview with The Guardian newspaper, Tana French said that Donna Tartt was the source of inspiration for the new book
