Hi Brenda,
I haven't but I don't think it would've made much of a difference. My biggest struggle was with the writing. I just found it unsophisticated and a bit laboured.
Just finished Tricky by Josh Stallings. Fantastic crime novel and great dialogue. Highly recommend this one.

The Searcher by Tana French is an atmospheric mystery set in the hills and bogs of the West of Ireland where strangers are seldom welcome. We know what that means.
