Kennedy lives in Ireland, in a time not too far from our very own. And this neighborhood-once called Broken Harbor-holds memories for Scorcher and his troubled sister, Dina: childhood memories that Scorcher thought he had tightly under control.Īt its heart, this is a book about the terror of madness, the dreams gone awry, the slow spiral that gets you to your breaking point, and the sad pathos of desperately grasping at the straws that tether you to the world of familiar safety of normalcy. Broken Harbor (Dublin Murder Squad, Book 4) Kindle Edition. This latest French novel is about an excellent detective, Mike Scorcher Kennedy, on the Murder Squad. Winner of the LA Times Book Prize for Be at the best. Broken Harbor is the first in the series set after the global financial crisis and while we see how those events can transform a housing estate to a ghost town that's picture perfect for a mystery, French also shows us how economic despair can drive people into spaces they never imagined they'd go. At first, Scorcher thinks itʼs going to be an easy solve, but too many small things canʼt be explained: the half-dozen baby monitors pointed at holes smashed in the Spainsʼ walls, the files erased from the familyʼs computer, the story Jenny told her sister about a shadowy intruder slipping past the houseʼs locks.
