"In Two Minds about it ..."

"The murderer what in Two Minds about it" is Cassie's assessment of murdering Katy Devlin, and something like that it comes to me with the review of this book. I have one and a half days for hand; Tana French's style is captivating and original from the beginning, the introduction to the novel leaves you wanting more, and their characters are drawn vivid and detailed. Rein of the literary quality of her are 5 stars absolutely deserved, especially for a debut novel.
The story itself is gripping and mysterious; the puzzling case of that time, the. Today, to the possible connection and the personal involvement of Rob / Adam Ryan Although I personally had relatively early the correct suspect when it came to the murder of Katy, but that did not detract from the absolute voltage. Beautifully also the passages that describe the personal relations between the detectives and their work.
What really makes you think, is the end.

-------------- SPOILER WARNING --------------------------------- ---------

The case is solved Katy, but due to the legal situation is the actual murderer, more or less unscathed.
The incident of the past remains unresolved; Rob had in the course of the novel some Erinnerngsfetzen, so it remains in the end only a single memory, and what exactly happened with his friends will probably never come to light.
The friendship between Rob and Cassie breaks, and that's the really bad thing about this end. Yes, it is cynical and realistic and very consistent, but here you have the feeling, that must Rob and Cassie the various difficulties would actually get through. Everything else works: The unresolved case of time leaves an aftertaste of the inexplicable, mysterious, which I attribute to originality and not apathy on the part of the author (it would not surprise me if Tana French would have an accurate idea of ​​what happened at that time); the situation around Katy's killer probably occurs more often than one thinks and shows loopholes in any even the best legal system; the personal situation but I can not understand.

---------------------- SPOILER END -------------------------- ------------

Nevertheless, I give this novel smooth 5 stars - for an excellently written, exciting adventure that introduces especially towards the end unexpected turns and - will be remembered for a long time the reader - in any way whatsoever. No book that can easily digested and forgotten immediately, but one that captivates a for hours.
