corrigan 's review for:

Broken Harbour by Tana French
3.0

I wish there were half stars on here. Three seems like too few, but four seems like too many. I liked this book, but it took a lot longer to get into than her other novels. I spent over a month on the first hundred pages. At around 200, it starts to really pick up the pace. I had foreseen the outcome fairly early on in the book, though, so I was a little disappointed. Tana French is brilliant at making you think you know what happened and then flipping you on your head. Maybe it was because there weren't as many characters in this novel, but it wasn't really surprising. Not like The Likeness, where I was sure I knew whodunnit at least five times and was wrong each time. Regardless, it was good enough that I have not even begun to lose faith in Tana, and I look forward to what she comes up with after this. I wonder who we'll follow in the next book...
