In an expensive private girls ‘school, a picture of a smiling guy from a nearby boys’ school appears on a notice board. On top of the boy’s face there is an inscription of carved letters — «I KNOW WHO KILLED HIM.» Chris was killed almost a year ago, his body was found on the lawn of a girls’ school. How did he get there? Who did you meet there? Who is the killer? Detective Stephen Moran, along with Antoinette Conway, a bitch from the Homicide Department, goes to St Kilda’s school to sort things out. They do not understand that they will find themselves in a real aspen nest, where young girls, so innocent and cute in appearance, are actually more dangerous than the most terrible criminals …
Tana French’s new detective is a great psychological novel built on an excellent detective framework. This is a psychological drama, a growing up novel, and, of course, a classic detective story with a vicious circle of suspects.
Press about the book:
«Amazing, scary, incredible, and the style is amazing.»
Stephen King
“A book full of sexy, wily schoolgirls whose words you can’t believe. This book is as cunning as the schoolgirls in it — the smokescreen of stylistic delights sometimes becomes thicker, then diverges for a moment, which again conceals the truth in a dense haze. And the reader, together with the detectives, will have to understand this jumble of lies. The perfect detective. «
The New York Times
«Smart and tough, frank and frightening, tragic and ironic, this novel reads in one breath.»
