Praise for Tana French

anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence and
ingenious plotting — make only one assumption: All of your initial
assumptions are wrong”
—The New York Times
"Tana French is the most interesting, most important crime novelist
to emerge in the past 10 years."
—The Washington Post
"[Tana French] inspires cultic devotion in readers…most crime
fiction is diverting; French's is consuming."

“To say Tana French is one of the great thriller writers is really
too limiting. Rather she’s simply this: a truly great
writer.”
—Gillian Flynn
“French is a poet of mood and a master builder of plots.”

“One of the most distinct and exciting new voices in crime
writing.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“French does something fresh with every novel, each one as powerful
as the last but in a very different manner. Perhaps she has
superpowers of her own? Whatever the source of her gift, it’s only
growing more miraculous with every book.”
