2010 book 206

Tana French's Faithful Place
Twenty years ago, Francis Mackey was supposed to meet Rosie Daly so they could run away together--only she left without him. Or so he thought, till he gets a call from the family he hasn't seen in decades telling him they've found her suitcase and it seems she never left after all. Now a forty-something cop (with the requisite ex-wife and adorable-yet-sassy daughter), Frank has to go home again and tangle with his family, with the past, and with distrusting neighbors to try and ferret out the truth. It's fairly easy to guess who did it, but the why is a longer time coming, and the whole thing is totally satisfying. I've loved French's previous two books, and this one is just as good. A.
