Jim's Review
🐛
Tana French writes atmosphere like nobody else — Jim could practically feel the damp Irish woods closing in. This is a detective novel that's really about memory, trauma, and the stories we tell ourselves. The prose is gorgeous, the partnership between Ryan and Maddox is electric, and Jim was genuinely unsettled for days after finishing. Four worms — bring a flashlight.
