Tana French, The SearcherRead about the other entries on the list at CrimeReads.
The first in a bestselling trilogy, The Searcher by Tana French introduces us to retired Chicago cop Cal Hooper, who goes to the quaint Irishvillage of Ardnakelty hoping for a new start and an escape from the violence of his past. But his hopes are thwarted when a teen girl pulls him into her determined search for her missing brother.
Through her skillful use of description and dialect, the author immerses the reader in rural Ireland, just as Cal Hooper finds himself immersed in his new surroundings. As the story progresses, Hooper discovers that Ardnakelty sits atop a graveyard of buried secrets and that his dream of tranquil village life is rapidly eroding.
