The Trespasser

To say that Tana French is one of the great thriller writers is really too limiting. Rather she's simply this: a truly great writer. - Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl

One of the best crime writers working today, Tana French . . . I can do you no greater favour in life than recommending that you read her books. - Guardian.com

The narrator this time is the wonderfully foul-mouthed, bad-tempered detective Antoinette Conway. And her narrative voice proves to be just as entertaining as I'd hoped, with a wonderfully salty and sometimes cruel sense of humour . . . At last it looks like a police procedural series from this side of the Atlantic can rival the best of the Americans. - Sunday Express

Its single voice is brilliantly sustained over 450 pages, and the book is a clever and intriguing experiment - the default technique of the psychological thriller, first-person female narration, deployed instead in a procedural whodunit. - Sunday Times

A gnarly, absorbing read, and a finely tuned slice of wintry gloom from one the best thriller writers we have. - Observer

French and The Trespasser merit all the praise we can heap on them. If 2016 has a better crime thriller to offer, I've not yet read it. - New Books Magazine

THE TRESPASSER contains the most tense and serpentine interrogation scenes outside of John Le Carre . . . Shows French to be a one-off phenomenon. - Guardian

Another gripping tale, beautifully told, by a woman at the top of her game. - Sunday Independent
