Cal Hooper starts his new life in rural Ireland, after spending 20+ years on the Chicago PD. But obviously there is criminal activity in even the smallest village. Therefore, Cal is soon busy trying to find out what happened to a 19 year old boy half a year ago. And since he has no CSI team and no piece of evidence, he has to solve this puzzle solely with (unreliable) statements and his own wit.
Tana French takes her time to tell her story, which makes it slow especially in the beginning. But the author wants to paint a complete picture, and this includes detailling minor characters or an evening in the pub. And it pays off - I could perfectly visualize all these people and their surroundings.
I was just as curious as Trey and Cal what happened to Brendan, although I could not see for a long time how Cal would be able to solve this case - with the few information he got. But that made the last quarter of the book so much more exciting.
Wonderful, heartbreaking entertainment

Tana French is by far my favorite author. I read all her novels and I wasn't disappointed by "The Searcher" at all. I loved the setting in a small Irish village and although I guessed which character was to be trusted halfway through the book, it was still a page-turner as there were so many questions to be answered in the end. I love Tana's style of writing so much. She knows how to tell tales of crime in a special way and she always manages that I feel and suffer with her characters so very much.
