Tana French: The Keeper, Viking 9780241823767, hardback, upcoming pubdate: April 2026,

Thanks to an early proof, I was able to enjoy the brilliant 3rd book in the Cal Hooper series, all three outstanding. 

"The Keeper" is not so much about the resolving of a death occuring at  the beginning of the narration but the subtle undercurrents running in a small Irish village where generation old grudges and power struggles still hold everyone hostage. Tana French describes brilliantly the psychological stronghold this death has on the village, as Cal Hooper, his finace Lena, Trey and all the characters so familiar from the other two novels get sucked into these dark mechanisms.  The Keeper only released me until i had come to the very end of the 400+ pages, absolutely loved it! Coming April 2026!
