Overview

From Tana French, author of The Witch Elm, "the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past 10 years" (The Washington Post), the bestseller called "the most stunning of her books" (The New York Times) and a finalist for the Edgar Award.

Back in 1985, Frank Mackey was a nineteen-year-old kid with a dream of escaping hisi family's cramped flat on Faithful Place and running away to London with his girl, Rosie Daly. But on the night they were supposed to leave, Rosie didn't show. Frank took it for granted that she'd dumped him-probably because of his alcoholic father, nutcase mother, and generally dysfunctional family. He never went home again. Neither did Rosie. Then, twenty-two years later, Rosie's suitcase shows up behind a fireplace in a derelict house on Faithful Place, and Frank, now a detective in the Dublin Undercover squad, is going home whether he likes it or not.

  • Another amazing read by Tana French

    Natalie T. - 4 years 11 months ago

    On a 1985 winter night in Dublin, Frank Mackey and his girl, Rosie Daly, were meeting up to run away to London. The plan was to get married, get out of poverty, and live happily ever after. Except Rosie never showed up. Assuming Rosie ditched him to avoid his generally dysfunctional family and start her new life alone, Mackey never returned to Faithful Place. That is until Rosie’s suitcase shows up behind a fireplace in a derelict house on Faithful Place twenty-two years later. Now a detective, Mackey returns ready to do anything and everything to figure out what happened to Rosie all those years ago. Another Tana French crime novel that’s laced with love, longing, dysfunctional families, and of course a bit of mystery to keep you guessing. A must read! Dublin Murder Squad series — each book can be read as a stand alone novel, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know each character in the different settings. Read In the Woods & The Likeness! #SpringPicks

  • The intensity of "Faithful Place"

    Zoë S. - 5 years 3 months ago

    "Faithful Place is my favorite of all of Tana French's novels. The characters are developed with a psychological intensity that is truly gripping. And the relationships between family members and neighbors are depicted with a bristling and raw honesty, that mix of love and hate that we all feel. The novel also has a tremendous sense of place. I want to walk down that street.

  • Couldn't Stop Turning Pages

    Stephen M. - 5 years 7 months ago

    This book it so great. I'm reading all of Tana French's "Murder Squad" series, and this one is by far the best of the bunch.

  • Mystery with family drama

    Guest G. - 5 years 11 months ago

    Very enjoyable mystery read. An easy read that will go by quickly. Well written and interesting plot that will keep you guessing. Somewhat dark but anyone who is a fan of murder mysteries will enjoy this.
