The Trespasser (Dublin Murder Squad, #06)

"French's interconnected first-person novels easily stand alone, but consuming them in order gives readers the pleasure of seeing characters they've come to know through others' eyes."  -   Library Journal

Being on the Murder Squad is nothing like Detective Antoinette Conway dreamed it would be. Her partner, Stephen Moran, is the only person who seems glad she’s there. The rest of her working life is a stream of thankless cases, vicious pranks, and harassment. Antoinette is savagely tough, but she’s getting close to the breaking point. Their new case looks like yet another by-the-numbers lovers’ quarrel gone bad.

"Respect is owed to French for making her interrogation scenes good enough to really spike your blood pressure, but the magic of previous instalments is missing."  -  Kirkus Reviews

Is this case another step in the campaign to force her off the squad, or are there darker currents flowing beneath its polished surface?
