Faithful Place by Tana French

As with French's first two Dublin Murder Squad mysteries, In the Woods and The Likeness, I was hooked by Faithful Place right from the beginning. The story focuses on undercover detective Frank Mackey (a secondary character in The Likeness), who is drawn back to his childhood home and dysfunctional family by the discovery of some disturbing evidence related to the mysterious disappearance of Frank's girlfriend Rosie Daly twenty-two years earlier. He never knew what really happened to Rosie on the night that the two of them were planning to run away together. Frank is driven to find the answers, even if it means becoming entangled again in the toxic dynamics of the family he left behind. French is a creative storyteller, and her riveting dialogue and plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end of Faithful Place.
