Identity.
In life there are not always that many dependable facts, but the assumed and assured point on which you should be able to rely on, is your own individuality. What a shock then to discover that another individual has not just the same as your own first, middle and last name but they also have the...

Interview with Tana French
Dublin crime novelist Tana French has the kind of critical reviews that other writers would…well, die for. Her debut murder mystery,
In the Woods
, won rave reviews and multiple literary prizes upon its release in 2007. Since then, her books have tended to haunt the bestseller lists, on both sides of the pond, and for months at a time.
