Faithful Place / Tana French / 400 pages

Listened to Faithful Place on CD and the narrator Tim Gerard Reyolds is amazing.  His Irish accent lends the perfect tone to the story of Dubliner Frank Mackey who is drawn back into Faithful Place, the sordid neighborhood where he grew up with his dysfunctional family.  Having avoided any contact with his family for over 20 years, he now dredges up all the old feelings as he tries to solve the murder of his fiancee who he thought abandoned him years ago.  Makes you wonder...can we ever escape our past?  Does nothing ever go away?  How does the past influence what happens in our future?  Well done and worthwhile.
