I'm confused as to the best order to read these and other Harry Hole books.
The Lords of Discipline. I picked it up from a stack of free paperbacks. Written by Pat Conroy in 1980, (also wrote The Great Santini). Awesome book DW and I both really enjoyed.
Reading A Spy's Life by Henry Porter....so far, so good...
A Spy's Life by Henry Porter — Reviews, Discussion, Bookclubs, Lists
Detectives Steve Moran and Antoinette Conway are now partners on the Murder Squad. They’ve been handed a case that at first looks like every other low-energy domestic they’ve ever been given--but during a routine interview, the murdered woman’s friend drops a clue that leads them to suspect this could be bigger than they had imagined. Much bigger. Contentious squad room politics add to their frustration as the detectives are led in conflicting directions by red herrings, dead ends, and warped perceptions. The Trespasser kept me happily discombobulated, guessing at an ending that I didn’t see coming. And that is what makes Tana French one of the best thriller writers out there. --Seira Wilson, The Amazon Book Review

It is written in the first person from the standpoint of the young Murder Squad detective in Dublin, Antoinette Conway. Lots of Irish street slang. Makes you feel like you are right in there with the detectives.
A bit of a slow starter as the first half felt slow to me. But I hung in there and felt it was maybe a 4.5 star book. I read really slowly and put the book down a lot so maybe I'm not your typical page turning reader. I've read all of Tana French's books.
Yep, I noticed the reviews on Amazon were lower for that one. I only read 1/2 of the Secret Place. Could not get into the teenage girl stuff.I was disappointed in a couple of things in Secret Place, the previous Tana French book, because she is usually just soooo good imo, but am looking forward to this new book. I saw it at the library last week but have a bunch of books stockpiled already.
David Mccullough's The Greater Journey, about Americans in Paris in the 19th century. Gosh he's a good writer!
In November of 1587, a report reached London claiming Sir Walter Raleigh's expedition to land English settlers in America had foundered. The colony on Roanoke Island off of the coast of North Carolina-115 men, women, and children-had disappeared without a trace. For four hundred years, the question of what became of the doomed settlers has remained unanswered.
