5. How could I forget? You know, I have no idea!

Now that I'm reading it again I've been asking myself the same question! It may have to do with not liking the protagonist, Detective Mike Kennedy, as well as I've liked her other protagonists. After all, when he first shows up in the preceding book, Faithful Place, he really comes off as something of an asshole. For me, at least, it took a bit of a mental leap to move into his head when he shows up as the lead in Broken Harbour.

In any case, I know I won't be forgetting it after this second reading, that's for sure!

And yes, it's very aptly named - a two-word title that covers a multitude of layers of meaning.

I couldn't say if I'm responsible for being the first one to bring up Tana French in this group, or if it might have been someone else. I know I'm not the only Tana French fan here - but I'm only too glad to bring more folks into the fold.
