The Trespasser

The Trespasser by Tana French Being on the Murder Squad is
nothing like Detective Antoinette Conway dreamed it would
be. Her partner Stephen Moran is the only person who seems
glad she’s there. The rest of her working life is a stream
of thankless cases vicious pranks and harassment.
Antoinette is savagely tough but she’s getting close to
the breaking point. Their new case looks like yet another
by-the-numbers lovers’ quarrel gone bad. Aislinn Murray is
blond pretty groomed-to-a-shine and dead in her
catalog-perfect living room next to a table set for a
romantic dinner. There’s nothing unusual about her—except
that Antoinette’s seen her somewhere before. And that her
death won’t stay in its neat by-numbers box. Other
detectives are trying to push Antoinette and Steve into
arresting Aislinn’s boyfriend fast. There’s a shadowy
figure at the end of Antoinette?s road. Aislinn?s friend
is hinting that she knew Aislinn was in danger. And
everything they find out about Aislinn takes her further
from the glossy passive doll she seemed to be. Antoinette
knows the harassment has turned her paranoid but she can’t
tell just how far gone she is. Is this case another step
in the campaign to force her off the squad or are there
darker currents flowing beneath its polished surface?
