I love Tana French's books, especially the Dublin Murder Squad. Her standalone books and this third book featuring Cal Hooper, a retired American cop who moved to a small town in Ireland are more suspense than mystery, with a focus on character rather than plot.
This one has a slower start than the previous two and is probably more for people who love these characters, like me. After catching up with the main characters, the actual story gets underway when a local girl goes missing. When her body is found in the river, an accident is suspected, but an autopsy points to suicide. In trying to discover the truth, Cal and his fiancee Lena slowly dig into the secrets planted deep into the town's inhabitants and way of life. Other than some not-very-surprising plot twists, there isn't much going on, but the ending is satisfying. Since I know what to expect from this series, I'd welcome another addition.
