Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I too have read every Tana French novel and have been captivated by each one until The Searcher; had this been the first French novel I ever read, I would never have purchased/read a second one. For me, her previous characters have been very real individuals and I have been spellbound by the plot, but the people in The Searcher are bland, homogenous and the plot is dull and disjointed. I kept wondering, why am I reading this? Why did I even buy this? Fortunately one of my friends was going to purchase the book, and I am happy to give this one away; I have kept all of my copies of French’s other books and although I do occasionally loan a book, I would never give them away.
