A very good mystery novel. I have enjoyed Tana French's two previous novels (in what appears to be an evolving Dublin Murder Squad series), but this novel, I believe, is my favorite of the three. It melds good writing, with deep characters, involving mysteries, and good old fashioned family drama.

This is a story about a man who one night in the 1980s decides to leave Ireland with his teenage sweetheart. She stands him up, he leaves his family behind anyway. Years later, now a police detective, he is forced to go home because his sweetheart's suitcase was found in an abandoned building.
