Tigers on the Way by Sean Kennedy5/31/2023 And folks, let me tell you loud and clear – the author just totally smash it for. Now, since I’m on a break from the Cut & Run universe and have read tons of books in between then and now – plus my penchant for books set Down Under (big thanks to the Red Dirt Heart series and to the mouthy Mark Cooper via Mark Cooper vs America – or it simply must be the accent!) I finally decided to give this one a go. It actually took me almost a year to finally get a hold of this one – I remember earlier this year when I first got this along with the Cut & Run series and I decided to go ahead with Abigail Roux and Madeleine Urban and I never turned back after that. Review 1: I’ve been meaning to read this book sooner but I never got the chance to do so until the early week of December.

Summary of the searcher by tana french5/31/2023 He is retired from the Chicago PD and fleeing a fairly amicable divorce, but still feels having the entire Atlantic Ocean between him and his old life is the only way forward. The Searcher follows the peregrinations of protagonist Cal Hooper, a blow-in from the US who has come to middle-of-nowhere Ireland as an escape from a life that was just not quite satisfying back in the States. The way The Searcher brings to life both the particularities of Irish rural living and the universalisms of the closed-off country community is what makes the book really sing it is also crucial to the eventual unfolding of the book’s plot. The book is set in a small, isolated Irish village, somewhere north of Galway and southwest of the ignominious border-that-shall-not-be-named between the Republic of Ireland and Britain. Tana French’s novel The Searcher is a recognizable and straightforward exercise in genre, but it is also an exemplar of the crime thriller genre, mainly due to its expert evocation of a specific setting.
