He was just the man for the case Scorcher Kennedy tells us in the first sentence. I think not at all after reading this lengthy novel written by Tana French. Because a cop who does not look to the right and not the left, one who thinks he has not necessary to pursue other indications because he knows better anyway - which is for the resolution of described here drama more than inappropriate. As a reader of Tana French I have all the time on the History gewartet- behind the story is why Kennedy as an Ars .. why he has no friends, why he looks at each and every down, has no empathy, no sense ... But as nil. The murderer is common for investigators before the half of the book is about - that he is wrong at the end and that it was his young partner who prevented worse - of which no more talk. The will for punished a mistake and end up back on patrol. Tana French forgives here a good story, because the setting, Broken Harbour, a nightmare come true, certainly has great potential. Only the Main person and their non-story is chosen completely wrong. Too bad!
