The Secret Place

The Secret Place by Tana French, 452 pages.
Tana French is such a good writer. Often I will find myself not wanting to read another book by an author because I loved one book so much and I don't want to be disappointed. I think that this is mostly With French and some other authors it has been a bit different; the first book seems pretty good, and each subsequent book is better. This one has an interesting story; a boy died last year at an exclusive girl's school. His body was found on the grounds, but the case was never solved. A student at St. Kilda's, Holly Mackey, who is also the daughter of the Murder Squad's  boss, finds a note that claims that someone knows who killed the young man. When she turns the note in to Stephen Moran, an officer she admires / trusts, he is able to use this to get assigned to the case along with Antoinette Conway. Conway, a very good detective, has been having a difficult time gaining the trust of or trusting her fellow detectives. It is these two detectives, these two well-drawn characters who make the story even more interesting. Narrated by Stephen Hagan and Lara Hutchinson.
