Recensione:
Praise for The Witch Elm:
“Edgar-winner French is at her suspenseful best in this standalone, in which an Irishman, who’s always considered himself a lucky person, has to reassess his past in the light of a gruesome find on the grounds of his family’s ancestral home.” --Publishers Weekly
“. . . the story is compelling, and French is deft in unraveling this book's puzzles . . . Psychologically intense.” --Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Tana French:
"A tour de force . . . When you read Ms. French--and she has become required reading for anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence and ingenious plotting--make only one assumption: All of your initial assumptions are wrong." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"[Tana French] inspires cultic devotion in readers...most crime fiction is diverting; French's is consuming." --The New Yorker
"There's nothing standard about French's approach to crime fiction, which plays the form much like a jazz musician improvising on a standard. Even when the outlines of the mystery seem familiar...she finds a way to get at enriching themes and powerful emotional truths in fresh and surprising ways." --Chicago Tribune
"To say Tana French is one of the great thriller writers is really too limiting. Rather she's simply this: a truly great writer." --Gillian Flynn
"Terrific--terrifying, amazing, and the prose is incandescent." --Stephen King
"One of the most distinct and exciting new voices in crime writing." --The Wall Street Journal
"French is a poet of mood and a master builder of plots." --Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post
"In all of the author's work, meaning lurks beneath every quip and glance. French not only spins a twisty cop tale, she also encases it in meticulous prose, creating a read that is as elegant as it is dark." --Associated Press
Praise for The Trespasser:
"This one, starring Detective Antoinette Conway, may be her best yet." -- Entertainment Weekly
"French has always found a marvelous balance between the crimes at the heart of her novels and the personal and interpersonal lives of her detectives." -- O, Oprah Magazine
"French keeps the reader pulling at the end of a tight leash."-- TIME
"...French outstrips most crime writers. Instead of following a single detective across 30 books, French sucks the reader into a different narrator's mind with each book. Her stories build to the moment when the narrator's personal and professional lives intersect, and sometimes her characters are vanquished by their transformations." -- GQ.com
"Ms. French writes dialogue like nobody's business, and The Trespasser has enough surprises to keep your brain buzzing." -- The Wall Street Journal
"French has classed up the old-school police procedural with smart, lush prose and a willingness to explore the darkest recesses of her characters' emotional lives." --The Millions
"When Gillian Flynn calls your book 'mesmerizing,' it shouldn't be taken lightly. And Tana French's new thriller about a detective embroiled in a complicated case involving a woman's murder is worthy of the accolade." -- InStyle
