Tana French: The Hunter, Penguin UK, 9780241684306, C format paperback

Tana French returns with " The Hunter" to the village of Ardnakelty/ Ireland,  where Cal Hooper, a retired Chicago cop, has settled and semi adopted Trey who was running wild in a very troubled disfunctional family. When her crook of a father returns with another friend and a money making scheme, the whole village is thrown into chaos with Trey heading for serious trouble.

What I love about French is her skill to describe so vividly every character in the novel, that I had a complete picture of everyone in my  head and they are still there!  Add to that a complex, slowly building plot where the crime is a minor factor making place for colorful protagonists  and you are set up for a great read. 5 stars!
