In Broken Harbour, a ghost estate outside Dublin - half-built, half-inhabited, half-abandoned - two children and their father are dead. The mother is on her way to intensive care. Scorcher Kennedy is given the case because he is the Murder squad's star detective. At first he and his rookie partner, Richie, think this is a simple one: Pat Spain was a casualty of the recession, so he killed his children, tried to kill his wife Jenny, and finished off with himself. But there are too many inexplicable details and the evidence is pointing in two directions at once. Scorcher's personal life is tugging for his attention. Seeing the case on the news has sent his sister Dina off the rails again, and she's resurrecting something that Scorcher thought he had tightly under control: what happened to their family, one summer at Broken Harbour, back when they were children. The neat compartments of his life are breaking down, and the sudden tangle of work and family is putting both at risk . . .

  1. När man inte vill att det ska vara sant
    Katarina Lindve, 27 september 2014

    En deckare handlar ibland om att först på slutet inse vad som hände. I det här fallet handlar det om att ganska snabbt tro sig veta vad som hänt men inte vilja att det ska vara sant. Mot en bakgrund av en ekonomi som det stuckits hål på, och med människor vars liv rasar ihop på grund av att bankerna gett dem huslån på astronomiska summor utan att tänka på vad som händer om jobben försvinner, så är detta en deckare som plågsamt ingående visar på sprickorna och hur folk faller igenom dem.

    Titania, 10 juli 2013

    Bra och spännande bok med en oväntad twist. Kanske inte lika bra som Tana Frenchs tidigare böcker dock men ändå helt klart läsvärd.

A hugely impressive and intelligent book . . . It confirms French as the First Lady of Irish Crime. * <i>Irish Independent</i> * A tale about the different facets of obsession and insanity . . . The best yet of French's four excellent thrillers, it leaves its readers "throat-deep in terror" . . . enticing, threatening, atmospheric prose * <i>Observer</i> * A gripping story in an atmospheric setting by an author who knows how to grab a reader's interest and never let it go. * Jessica Mann, <i>Literary Review</i> * An emotionally jolting story of love, obsession and madness is played out to incredible effect. Since her first novel, In the Woods, was larded with awards in 2007, French has garnered a huge legion of fans and they will be thrilled with this, her fourth and possibly best novel. * Carla McKay, <i>Daily Mail</i> *
