2024 book 48

 Tana French's The Searcher

I never read this when it first came out, partially because I didn’t love her previous book, and partially because it was fall 2020 and I wasn’t in the mood for a literary mystery. But there is a sequel out tomorrow, I am back in the mood for literary mysteries, and this was GREAT! It’s about a former Chicago cop who has moved to a small town in Ireland basically on a whim after his wife leaves him and he leaves his job, and he’s looking forward to restoring his lil house and fishing and whatnot, when a local kid asks him to investigate a missing brother. But he’s new to this small town and doesn’t really understand the locals and their secrets. AMAZING characters and atmosphere here, totally sad but a wonderful ending. A.
