Three thoughts for the three Tana French novels:

1.  The Likeness In The Woods > Faithful Place

2.  Is it just me or do these books get progressively more Irish? Like the accents? The Guinness? I don’t get it.

3.  They all have gaping plot holes but are perfectly pleasant mystery reads when you don’t want to have to think. And I’m always a sucker for that.
