The Trespasser: Dublin Murder Squad: 6. The gripping Richard & Judy Book Club 2017 thriller (Dublin Murder Squad)

by Tana French

Hilda Fay (Narrator)

Antoinette Conway, the tough, abrasive detective from The Secret Place, is still on the Murder squad, but only just. She's partnered up with Stephen Moran now, and that's going well - but the rest of her working life isn't. Antoinette doesn't play well with others, and there's a vicious running campaign in the squad to get rid of her. She and Stephen pull a case that at first looks like a slam-dunk lovers' tiff, but gradually they realise there's more going on: someone on their own squad is trying to push them towards the obvious solution, away from nagging questions. They have to work out whether this is just an escalation in the drive to get rid of her - or whether there's something deeper and darker going on.

Reasons to Trespass on The Trespasser

• Not since Cassie Maddox  in The Likeness have we had a female detective in the Dublin Murder Squad series and Tana French delivers with Antoinette Conway.  She is smart, snappy, and doesn't take anyone's crap.  She was just what I had been hoping for.


• Never fear, we still have Stephen Moran, a constant in two other books in the series.  I've taken a shine to him.  He's quite and caring but underneath it he means business.


• The plot was original with a murder investigation that held more depth that the "the husband did it" motive which has become so common these days.


• Because it was not a rehashed plot, The Trespasser kept me on my toes until the very end, and like any good book I was reading at top speed.


• The Trespasser is a book you can sink your teeth into and come out satisfied.  It is cliché to say Tana French has done it again but she has.  She has taken her signature twisted procedural and turned it on it's head.
