| Back in 1985, Frank Mackey was 19, growing up poor in Dublin''s inner city, and he and Rosie Daly were all ready to run away to London together. But on the night when they were supposed to leave, Rosie vanished. Twenty-two years later, Rosie''s suitcase shows up behind a fireplace in a derelict house on Faithful Place, and Frank is going home whether he likes it or not. |
Annotation:
Tanya French delivers another spectacular thriller with FAITHFUL PLACE, her third novel. More than 20 years ago Frank Mackey left home. His plan was to run away with his girlfriend, Rosie, but she didn't show up at their appointed meeting place and he figured she'd changed her mind. Frank left anyway, moving away from his rough Dublin neighborhood, starting over, and becoming a cop. Now news surfaces indicating that Rosie didn't just change her mind...that something much worse happened. Frank wants to discover the truth behind Rosie's disappearance, but that means he must return to the city he left in the dust, to the people he turned his back on. He must look his dysfunctional family in the eye and take on some of Dublin's toughest individuals. But Frank is on a mission, and with French at the helm, readers won't want to miss a beat of his suspenseful homecoming. Selected by Publishers Weekly as a 2010 Top 100 Book.

| What Ian Rankin has been doing for Edinburgh, Tana French is doing for Dublin. Its pubs and tenements, its back yard gardens with converted jacks, and newly gentrified neighborhoods provide a setting that is as much a dynamic cityscape for the mayhem of her thrillers, as the alleys and landmarks of Edinburgh do for the investigations of Inspector Rebus. The Dublin of her crime fiction has the kind of impact that Dublin has in the stories of James Joyce: the rundown fair in "Araby" and the laundry in "Clay." French's Dublin is city that grabs its inhabitants by the scruff and holds on to them. If as Heraclitus has said character is fate, Dublin's fair city is clearly where that character is created....read the full review | |
Praise
"French's writing remains brilliant, and her dialogue is sharp, often lacerating, and sometimes mordantly funny. FAITHFUL PLACE is her best book yet." (starred review)

"In French's previous two novels -- the mesmerizing IN THE WOODS and THE LIKENESS -- and now with her third, FAITHFUL PLACE, she has introduced the insolvable and the uncertain into the rigorous mathematics of the detective story; she's the Kurt Gödel of crime fiction....French's hypnotic storytelling remains in full force in this novel...."
