Amazon.com Review

Amazon Best Books of the Month, July 2012: In Tana Frenchs fourth novel, detective Mick "Scorcher" Kennedy and his partner are sent to the abandoned, half-constructed housing development Broken Harbor to investigate the brutal murder of the Spain family. What Scorcher thinks is an open and shut case is quickly complicated when Jenny Spain is found barely alive, and the familys circumstances are brought to light: hidden baby monitors, a strained mortgage brought on by the housing crisis, and the increasingly erratic signs of a family in crisis. French delivers a layered psychological thriller and satisfying who dunnit, masterfully spinning a plot packed with tension and a haunting mood that rivals the best of the gothic writers. --Heather Dileepan

Customer Reviews

It was a good story with well developed characters. Edward J. Conlon

I have read all of Tana French's novels and I look forward to the next one. avidreader

Unfortuately, in this book, there's just a bit too much of that view where the main character is concerned. Capsfan
