The Trespasser

This is crime writing at its most sublime: spell-binding story-telling with a heroine to treasure in Detective Antoinette Conway . . . Author Tana French's reputation has been growing steadily in recent years and she is now at her peak, as this superb novel underlines.

Daily Mail

A clever and well-crafted read.

Sun

Tana French's thrillers are consistently good - well-plotted, intelligent, with memorable characters - and her latest, THE TRESPASSER, does not disappoint.

Good Housekeeping

Thrillers are a dime a dozen. The trick is to find something that actually sticks to the ribs. This fall will bring a new release from one of the best crime writers working today, Tana French. But that book, The Trespasser, is actually her sixth. She has five novels you can buy right now, though you should read them in the order in which they were published, starting with In the Woods. I can do you no greater favour in life than recommending that you read her books.

Guardian.com

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

Observer

The Trespasser contains the most tense and serpentine interrogation scenes outside of John Le Carré . . . Shows French to be a one-off phenomenon.

Guardian

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

Its single voice is brilliantly sustained . . . 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 beautifully wrought murder mystery and investigation into what it means to be a murder detective.

Mail on Sunday

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

Sunday Independent

Taut, twisty, packed with all-too believable characters and rattles along at breakneck speed.

Woman & Home

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

I'm a huge fan of hers and have read all her novels.

The Lady

She's fast becoming our fave crime/thriller writer, as this latest offering is flipping brilliant!

Fabulous Magazine

French's psych-profile shtick is so sharp, she ensures we're wrapped up, too . . . the big reveal can hit you like a loaded punch

Crime Scene

One of this year's most anticipated books

Stylist

Get ready to get comfy on the sofa with this clever, compelling and creepy thriller - it's quite possibly French's best to date.

Closer Magazine

A tense study in paranoia, delivered with French's customary adroitness. It's not hard to see why such writers and Stephen King and Gillian Flynn are admirers.

Crime Time

This is story-telling at the highest level, packed with sparky dialogue and a feisty heroine who rises about her difficult background and challenging work environment in order to seek the truth.

Irish Independent

Uncommonly well written
