It's been five years since the last one. I like the idea of continuing-characters taking turns as the lead in the books. That seems to irritate some of the series readers, but I find it to be a nice twist.<br /><br />I waited for The Searchers for over three months, but coincidentally picked up a like-new copy of her Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-38848245660473321622021-03-30T13:33:10.354-05:002021-03-30T13:33:10.354-05:00I love the Murder Squad books, and the French woul...I love the Murder Squad books, and the French would take a character from one novel and develop the next novel around that character. I have a request for The Searchers, but may not be able to wait that long.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-68799001834950722112021-03-29T17:57:44.984-05:002021-03-29T17:57:44.984-05:00I'm definitely going to sample the Murder Squa...I'm definitely going to sample the Murder Squad Books soon, Susan.

Still, if you liked this one, you'll probably like her others. She's one of my favorite crime writers!

That would be interesting, though, considering the fact that the main character is American and all the others Irish. It would require a reader able to cover the accents well enough to make them believable.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-67310676776971024042021-03-28T17:04:32.510-05:002021-03-28T17:04:32.510-05:00I do think you'll like it, Cath.

She is a very good storyteller, and her characters, at least in this one, are fully-fleshed human beings.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-13980656122652333092021-03-28T14:15:21.771-05:002021-03-28T14:15:21.771-05:00I've read a few of French's Dublin Murder ...I've read a few of French's Dublin Murder Squad books, but I haven't read this one yet.
